Water: Originating from arid regions, winged everlasting daisy thrives with minimal moisture and has high drought tolerance. It prefers weekly watering and well-draining soil, reflecting its adaptation to sporadic rains. Primarily cultivated outdoors, winged everlasting daisy is favored for xeriscaping due to its robust nature.

Fertilize: Fertilize winged everlasting daisy bi-weekly with high phosphorus fertilizer at half-strength during the growing season, and monthly during dormancy. Avoid over-fertilization, dilute to prevent root burn, and adjust according to the plant's response for optimal health.

Pruning: Winged everlasting daisy features winged stems and daisy-like flowers, benefiting from pruning in early to late spring. Remove spent blooms for continuous flowering and trim leggy growth for compactness. Regular cutting enhances health and disease resistance; always use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation: Winged everlasting daisy can be propagated by sowing seeds in well-draining soil just below the surface, requiring light for germination. Maintain consistent moisture without overwatering and place in a warm, sunny position. Transplant seedlings with true leaves for healthy growth.
