Sorry for the mispronunciation; since my neurological mishap my tongue doesn't work that well at times. The flower is pronounced with a soft SH. 😋
It's time to deadhead and prune your Shasta daisies so that you'll get a second wave of blooms. It's an easy process, all you need is a paper bag to collect the spent blossoms and a pair of sharp, clean snippers. When you're finished, feed and water your daisies then sit back and wait for the show to begin. Shasta daisies are a quadruple hybrid that were developed by Luther Burbank by blending Oxeye daisies, English field daisies, Japanese field daisies, and Portuguese field daisies in the late 1980's. Every garden must have some cheerful, white and yellow Shasta daisies. Happy gardening.

Your video helped me so much. I have daisies and I honestly thought that I was doing them a disservice by allowing them to look as they were. Little did I know that they just needed some deadheading. Thank you so very much for showing me exactly how to do that. Your sweet and steady voice also instilled a sense of confidence in me to get the job done. I also very much enjoy sitting with my garden.
Wow! Thank you for your kind comments. I am humbled by your kindness. Happy Gardening. 🌻
@@TinthiaClemantI just wonder if the plant feels any pain when pruning it....
@@FREEFILMSALEX i’ve often wondered that as well and I’m sure that it knows that we’re trying to help it so I like to think that there’s no pain but I do talk to my plants and tell them that I’m doing this for your benefit and I’m trying to be very careful.🥴happy gardening
Your video has been so helpful for me. This is the most informative I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. ❤
You are most welcome. It’s not really expertise. It’s just I have a little bit of knowledge and I guess that makes me very dangerous as the saying goes. I’m just an old woman who loves to garden. 😎 But since my illness all I can do now is sit at my window and watch my flowers bloom, but I still get a lot of joy from them and I’m glad I was able to help you. Feel free to ask any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will research it. Happy gardening 🌻
Thank you so much for this! I reall appreciate the pace at which you speak ( I often have to rewind to catch what is being said) and the close ups of your pruning and deadheading was perfect.
Hi, thank you for your kind comment. I’m pleased you found the video helpful. Happy gardening. 🌻
You taught me something that I never knew. Thank you.
My pleasure. I love learning new things. Happy gardening. 🌻
Thank you so much😊. You’re very kind to take the time to make this video with excellent information. I just planted my first daisy plant and thanks to you I know now how to maintain it😊. Really appreciate it.
Thank you for the kind comment. Enjoy your beautiful, happy flowers and happy gardening. 🌻
I have never heard any of these things about daisies. I have daisies and they’re a favorite plant of mine. I’m so glad that I came upon your video. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind comment. Happy gardening. 🌺
Great video thank you so much!! I was thinking I had killed mine but they just needed to be trimmed back and a new wave will come along!! ❤ so glad I found your channel 🌼
I’m thrilled you’re here 🌻
Thanks for your engaging narrative. I'm going look more carefully at my shasta daisies. I hadn't really been paying that much attention to them!
😂 gin and tonic 🥃 I love watching your videos- very in depth and gentle.
Thank you so very much for the wonderful comment. It is my pleasure to bring you joy. Happy gardening. 🌻
One of the only things that Deer don’t eat! So therefore I have these in my garden!
Haha, deer don't eat hydrangeas either, phew. However, rabbits love zinnias, the little varmints. Happy gardening. 🐰
Daisy's are definitely cool!!
Talk about great timing. I just planted 6 shasta daisies. I honestly had no idea they were bi-annual. I enjoy the flowers so much but sadden to realize they don't bloom annually. I'll double check mine today. Also, I transplanted PG hydrangea yesterday. Yes, it was hot :) but I needed to movie a roddie from an extremely shady area, which didn't take root. I hope my PG makes it but if not, oh well, I see it as an opportunity to buy another variety :)
Keep your hydrangea hydrated but not wet, which will help it develop strong roots before the winter season sets in.. Did you add compost to the hole? If not, work some in around the plant. Good luck I have several hydrangeas that need to be moved, my neighbor cut down some trees that have now put the bushes in direct sunlight but I'm going to wait until the spring to move them; it's too hot for me to work outside lately. Check the base of your chassis and see if they have basil growth down at the bottom of the stems that growth should give you flowers next season. Also check the label you may have purchased one of the newer perennial daisies that are on the market. Have a wonderful rest of your summer and thank you for always watching my videos. Happy gardening 🌻
@@TinthiaClemant Oh yes, I did add compost. It's in its new home but it does show transplant shock. It's been on the crazy hot side so I am hopeful with regular watering it will perk up. Good news is, my shasta daisy "Becky" plants are all perennials. Yay for me :) lol Thanks for the wonderful and always useful informative videos you provide us! Best to you!
So. Rockin’. Cool.
I guess I needed to prune down to little buds, I would’ve love to have a second wave😩
I followed your instruction and I am currently enjoying my second flush of blooms. Thank you. This is a practice I will be using from now on. Have you tried this procedure with Montauks?
@@joannesmith1287 I have not since Monday tails are and autumn blooming plant typically. 🌻
Thanks so much I’m looking forward to trying this 💗
Great video. I learned a lot. I love how you speak slowly!!! So, my daisies that bloomed from last year will not bloom this year!! But they will bloom next year?? I didn’t know that! Ugh, i am going to have a huge mound of green in my garden . Waaaaah!
Hi thank you for your kind comment. I may not have explained how Shasta daisies work, and I apologize, you will get blossoms this year on the growth that was produced last year; that’s the growth that is at the base of the plant. And then while the plant is blooming this year it’s also laying growth for next year when you’ll get those blossoms. Biennials bloom on growth that was laid one year prior but you get blossoms every year. I hope I cleared up any confusion I may have created. Post if you still have questions. 🌻
@@TinthiaClemant , thanks so much!
Very peaceful tutorial! Thank you for the cheerful info and the smile :)
Thank you for the kind comment. Happy gardening. 🌻
@@TinthiaClemant :)
Thank you!
You rock! Gin and Tonic, for sure
Haha, I need one; it might help me pronounce Shasta correctly. 🤣 Happy gardening and thanks for watching. 🌻
It’s a known fact that when we enjoy a gin and tonic outdoors near our plants they will respond by growing and performing beautifully. That’s why English gardens are so pretty! 🤗
@@user-mr9uy9gj5l I love English gardens but didn't know the real reason they are so pretty; now I know. Time to buy some more limes. 😎Happy gardening. 🌻
Very informative video.
Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment. Happy gardening 🌷
Love your excitement about these lovely flowers! Cheers! Enjoy that gin and tonic! These look great!!
Hello, thank you for your kind comment. Unfortunately, now I am on new medication that keeps me from having gin and tonics on an early summers eve. Anyway, I thank you again for your kind comment and I do apologize for pronouncing Shasta daisy incorrectly. Happy gardening 😎
Since I'm in Chicago and you N.E. - I'd love to hear more about the storage location since many prairie natives require the freeze-thaw cycle to trigger germination. Our Milkweed is a great example of this since it's almost impossible to 'relocate' an established plant, there's a process involved in harvesting the pods before winter for spring plans
Hi I harvest my milkweed pods and send the seeds to the Monarch butterfly association. I will make a video about it. The mild winter we had caused many plants to break hibernation and I feared milkweed didn't get enough cold temps to allow for germination but I am thrilled to write i have a bumper crop. What in particular would you like me to discuss? 😄
New to gardening. Have a couple Shasta Daisies and this video was great. You kept saying Chasta daisies. I'm just trying to get the right word. Are these Shasta or Chasta Daisies ?
Hi, sorry for saying the name incorrectly; sadly my neurological condition affects my pronunciation at times. The correct way to say Shasta is with a soft 'sh', not the hard 'ch' I am using but, arghhh!, I can't get my tongue to cooperate. I'm glad you enjoyed the video despite the mispronunciation. Happy gardening. 🌻
Nice explanation. I have some mini-shasta daisies that I always deadhead, but they do not rebloom. However, I have never cut them back the way you do. I will try it next year. I hope it works with these since they are hybrid and not the original shasta variety.
I hope it works. Sometimes mine don’t rebloom that well, I must admit. A lot depends on the weather conditions too. Good luck and keep me posted. Happy gardening 🌻
@@TinthiaClemant Do your daisies ever bloom in October? I just saw a house with a huge clump of daisies in full bloom. I was really surprised because I thought they only bloomed in the summer.
@@initiate22000 Hi, they might be the type of Mums called daisy mums. I planted some that are getting ready to bloom. Look just like daisies but are actually mums. Here’s a link www.bluestoneperennials.com/MXD.html
Enjoy. 🌻
I've never heard "Shasta" pronounced "Chasta" before. Is this from Massachusetts?
I am from New England and it's the blooming of the flowers that is important. 😁
@@TinthiaClemant My father was from Pawtuckett, and “saw horse” was always a challenge for him.
That pronunciation was driving me crazy! I'm a teacher grew up in NY lived in Boston and now RI. Never heard it like that!
Thanks for this video! Last year after I deadheaded, the new little blossoms all seemed to turn brown before they shot up into new daisies. Any advice for how to make sure the second round of daisies happens? Is it possible because they need to be split they aren't as happy making flowers?
A lot depends on the dryness of the soil (make sure they are receiving adequate water) and how quickly you deadhead them. Try to deadhead as each blossom fades. I have found doing them all at once shocks the plant and I lose lots of second-round blossoms. Good luck and happy gardening. 🌼
Awsome video thank you so much !!!
My pleasure. Happy gardening 🌸
Hi this is my first time getting this type of plant, if I’m allowed to ask , when you first got the 2 gallons plant or Plant from garden center how do you take care of it!! Do I have to plant it deep, and how about water most of my plant during first year a water it tree times x week ? But with this plant there’s not much information
What do you do if you don’t see any flower buds?
If I don’t see new buds I cut the plant 1/3 down. Sometimes this rejuvenates the plant. When you see new growth give the plant a helping of a bloom booster food. 🐸
My Shasta's have very few little buds on them, I cut them to new leafs but still haven't had a decent re-bloom (any recommendations?). They flower nicely during the initial bloom.
Hi, so this is the second bloom, correct? Sometimes they won’t bloom again; why I don’t know. My neighbor cuts hers back to about 6” and might get a second wave. Finicky plants. Try a blast of a bloom boosting food with more phosphorus than nitrogen and potassium.
Keep me posted. Happy gardening 🌻
@@TinthiaClemantHi there😊. I cut mine down to the baby buds. Mine did not rebloom. I was very sad about that. I didn’t fertilize. Maybe that was the problem 😔
🌼Great informative videos, thanks! 🌼What variety of Shasta Daisy is this? I like the height. Mine are Snow Cap Shasta so mine stay very short.
Sadly, mine were killed when my yard flooded this past December and January. I lost quite a few plants as a result of that flood. I love daisies. 🌸
@@TinthiaClemant 😞😥
Mine were Becky. 🌻
Mine were Becky
I just planted some from seed and put them out and was wondering why they wasn't blooming this year. they are putting on good growth just no blooms . Let's fast forward to next summer, I get blooms, will I get them the following summer too or do I have to wait two more seasons again?
Hello, great question. Once you get a year of growth you'll get flowers every year, or that's the plan at least. The flowers you get in 2023 will be from 2022's growth; 2023 will also lay down growth that will bloom 2024, and so on. The growth that eventually blooms comes from the basal collection of leaves at the base of the plant. I hope I helped. Happy gardening. 🌻
This was Excellent, I had huge daisies this year ....Thank you ...love from Ireland xx💕💕☘☘Forgot have another G&T on me lol😀
Thank you for watching. Greetings from Massachusetts, USA. 🌻
are Shasta daisies biannual? I thought they were perennials? I bought a container at home depot and it advertise them as perennials... I am new to gardening
Hi, they are a group of perennials called biennials. They bloom every year but on the second year's growth. The flowers you see this year were set in 2020. When they die back at the end of the blooming season you'll see a carpet of green leaves close to the ground. That tight chump is next year's flower base. Biennials are cool. Lamb's ear is another biennial. Happy gardening. 🌺
I thought I read somewhere that one should split the planting by half every four years or so to give the plants enough space. Do you recommend that? If so, what is the proper procedure?
@@Ummonchinable I split in the spring although some gardeners split in fall. I find the soil is too dry in the fall. Spring is when the ground is moist. I just dig out a clump with a spade. I feed when I see new growth forming. I hope this helps. 🌻
I've had my shastas for about 8 years. They have never rebloomed. I have deadheaded and pruned them down to just above the little baby buds, but those buds have never bloomed again. What am I doing wrong??
Hi, no, you’re not doing anything wrong. Sometimes Shastas won’t rebloom, no matter how careful we prune. It can be that particular cultivar causing the issue.
My neighbor’s Shasta’s rebloom every summer but mine haven’t for the past two years.
I’ve asked about it at my local nursery and the head gardener there blames the lack of reblooming on the dry conditions.
You can try a bloom boosting food, like MiracleGro, and see if that kicks the plants into gear.
I’m sorry I can’t offer a definitive answer.
Happy gardening 🤞
@Tinthia Clemant aka River Lady no worries on a definitive answer. I've kinda just chalked it up as the plant being stubborn. It may be time to dig them up and try a new bunch. They've spread tremendously and they are close to 4 ft tall and constantly fall. Unfortunately, my garden faces east, so the sun pulls everything that way. The garden is blocked by the house from the westerly sun
@@mrpink3998 One of the presenters at the Hydrangea University I recently went to said, if a plant is not bringing you joy and is not performing the way you want, dig it up and toss it. Perhaps you might want to dig up the Daisy and split it and replant it someplace else instead of tossing it. Truthfully, gardening can be very frustrating.
If you do buy a new daisy plant check out some of the wonderful new cultivars that are available. Go online And check out the new varieties. A lot of issues have been fixed like the not always re-blooming issue and dealing with fungus or insects. If your local nursery doesn’t carry the new cultivar you want to buy look for an online source.🌻
@@TinthiaClemant wonderful tips! Thank you! I could never just toss a plant in the garbage. It'd be a gift to someone new!
@@mrpink3998 I agree. I cry when I lose a plant (my son thinks I’m bonkers). I wish you happy gardening. 🌻
Will the Shasta daisy only give 2 sets of blooms or just keep doing this each time the bloom dies back die back
i HAVE SHASTA DAISIES AND THEY DID BLOOM, BUT i AM NOT FINDING THAT "BUD" YOU ARE REFERRING TO. ANY SUGGESTIONS Ani Chodron
A
Hi, the buds I am referring to is along the stem, about two inches (typically) below the original bud. Happy gardening. 🌻
Do daisies need much water mine tend to crisp up and die thanks
Although daisies can withstand dry conditions, they do need a deep drink at least once a week. Water at the base and around the perimeter of the clump. Try cutting back the clump and work some compost into the soil, being careful of the roots. Cover with a layer of mulch. However, before you do anything give a few of the stems a good tug; if the stems come out of the ground easily then the roots are infected and you would be wise to replace the clump. I hope this helps. Good luck and keep me posted. One more thing to think about; any chance a weed killer got on the plant? 🌼 Happy gardening.
@@TinthiaClemant thankyou so much I will do as you advised 😊
@@kimberley1195 My pleasure. Good luck. 🌻
question- I planted these last year, and should expect them to bloom this year. Will these bloom again next year (year 3)? or does the plant completely die after it blooms once? Or does it not bloom on year 3, and bloom year 4?
Hello, the plant will bloom or should bloom every year, but it is blooming on its second year growth. So for example, the stems that hold the flowers were set at that base leaf layer last year and that base leaf layer was hat you should see at the bottom of the plant will grow and bloom next year.
I hope this makes sense. 🌷
Your video made me drink double the wine I usually drink on a Sunday.
Oh no, I do apologize. 😞
I never see and buds forming to know where to deadhead them. I just follow the stem to where there is already another stem with a flower already . So basically I have two stems with a flower on them. 🤷♂️
If it works great. 🌺
New to gardening: Do you have to let the seeds dry before planting or can you sow directly in the ground while deadheading?
Hi, to avoid the formation of mold, most seds should be mature.l, which typically results in them being dry. If your spent blossoms are dry and crumbly, go ahead and plant the seeds. Happy gardening. 🌻
Hi! Sorry should I cut the daisy once it's dry (but it's petals are still white) or should I cut it once it's color turned really dark? (Like in the video) I read in other websites that i should cut it when it starts to dry but I'm really confused. I'm new in the garden stuff and I really don't want to mess it up when I'm starting
Hi don’t worry about messing up gardening is all about experimenting and learning how to enjoy your plants. You can cut the blossoms whenever you want. I have found that if I wait too long to cut the spent blossom I don’t always get a new blossom so sometimes cutting a little earlier is better than later. Experiment with your plants cut a few and then cut a few more at a different time and you’ll find what your plant prefers. Relax and enjoy the process.Happy gardening 🌻
Please 🙏 help. My Shasta Daisies are the only plant that are infested with aphids. I just saw some eggs on one this morning. So I pinch it off. So far this it's not as bad last year and before. This year I'm watching it like a hawk. In my zone in Canada we get a lot of rain.
Hi, you can spray Neem oil on the plant or Garden Safe insecticide. A friend of mine uses Been oil but I use Garden Safe. Be sure to get under the leaves as well. Once you have an infestation it takes a bit of time for you to get it under control continue to pinch off any areas that you see covered with aphids and the best way to dispose of the aphids is to put the vegetation, I’m sorry to say this, in a plastic bag and close it tightly and put it in your trash. Don’t just throw the vegetation into a side area of your yard. You’ll want to spray nearby plants, even if they don’t have aphids. This will help you gain control of the situation. Good luck and keep me posted. 🌻
@@TinthiaClemant thank you I wonder if you can get Neem oil @home depot. I'll try all 3 Neem oil, garden safe insecticides, and pinch them off. I put it in to city compost bin.
@@tiffanienguyen7174 hi, don’t do both Neem Oil, which you can get at Home Depot, and Garden Safe. You might stress the plant. Also don’t put the clippings in the towns compost because the aphids could survive and the compost will become infected. It might seem silly but better to be safe for other gardeners. Dump the clippings in the trash. If you buy Neem Oil you will need a spray bottle unless you can find a spray form. Good luck. 💕
@@TinthiaClemant again thank you for your advice. Canadian Home Depot doesn't have in store has to order them. I'll just use the garden safe then. I will throw the infected bubs in the a bag to put in the garbage bin.
Take heart. The weather has been crazy for gardening and insects. Let me know how you make out. 😘
Do shasta daisies grow god in zone 9 or is it too hot and humid in Texas
Hi, they should do well in Zone 9, the last of the hot zones for them. However, I must state as the zones are heating up they might not fair great but I would give them a go. Remember to water well until established. Good luck and happy gardening. 🌻
The dogs here too.
My Shasta daisies do not have another small bud on the stalk. How do I deadhead it? Do I cut all the way to the base?
If you’re missing the small buds you can cut them back about one-third and when you see new growth give them a blast of bloom boosting food. 🌺
When I deadheaded my Shasta daisies the new blooms returned as black eyed Susans. Why was that?
Wow! I have never heard of that happening; they are two totally different species. Did the golden flowers of the black-eyed Susan’s bloom on the same stem as where the cut was mad? Or did it grow from the base? 🧐
No sign of any little buds under my spent blooms. Thanks though.
It will depend on your cultivar. You can cut the stems about a third and when you see new growth fit some bloom boosting food. 🌻
Nice 😊
I would love to do the same with you sit back drink Gin and tonic !! lol O by the way thanks for the tip.
Ah, it would be lovely to have company. I wish you health, and happy gardening. 🌻
@@TinthiaClemant Be safe . Thank you for that. Take care
Don"t have little buds.
Shasta, not Chasta!
Yes, I addressed my speech in the description. I get it. Thank you. 😎
Yeah, everyone gets it!
