Care essentials
Light
Swan River Daisy requires full sun for best flowering. In NE Florida, plant in fall through early spring as a cool-season annual — the intense summer heat will end bloom and kill the plant. Choose an open, sunny spot with good air circulation.
Water
Water moderately, keeping soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Well-drained soil is essential — soggy conditions cause root rot. In NE Florida's mild winters, rainfall is often sufficient; water only during dry spells.
Soil & Fertilizer
Grows best in sandy to loamy, well-drained soil with average fertility. Avoid heavy clay. A light application of balanced granular fertilizer at planting is sufficient; over-fertilizing with nitrogen produces foliage at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong the display.
