Painted Daisies

18 years ago

I recently bought painted daisies for my father for Fathers Day and was looking for more detailed information on caring for them. I scoured the Miami Valley area and found seven plants in terrible shape,but purchased them anyway. I was hoping to give them a boost before I see him next week. I was also wondering if they bloom more than once. Any help would be great.

Painted daisies will bloom in late spring or early summer... if you cut them back (dead head) they should rebloom in late summer. from personal experience i have found that they are really short lived perennials and need to be divided every 2-3 yrs to keep them re-juvenated and prevent them from dying off.
