Water:
When planting daisy 'Wirral Supreme', wait for the soil surface to dry before watering. In spring, water every 7‒12 days (25 ml), then weekly in summer (30 ml). For potted plants, water every three days. Avoid watering leaves to prevent diseases.
Fertilize:
Daisy 'Wirral Supreme' thrives in poor soil and requires minimal fertilization, suggesting bone powder every three months. Excess nutrients can lead to overgrowth and drooping. In dense planting, poor ventilation may invite pests. A balanced liquid fertilizer (10‒10‒10) can aid in yellowing plants with stunted growth.
Pruning:
Daisy 'Wirral Supreme' requires strategic pruning for optimal health and aesthetics. Techniques include deadheading for prolonged bloom and cutting back one-third of stems in early spring to promote growth. Additional spring pruning shapes the plant and removes dead leaves, ensuring a vibrant display throughout the season.
Propagation:
Daisy 'Wirral Supreme' propagates through seeds or division. Seeds take a year to bloom, while divisions are best done post-flowering when plants recover. Choose a cool, cloudy day; cut to 15 cm, dig 15 cm deep, and ensure small clusters have 3–4 rhizomes for successful regrowth.
