Re: Gerber Daisies Plant, to keep them flowering like other flowers, are you to keep cutting them, just above?

This is my first Gerber Daisy plant, and the flowers that are on it currently are starting to fade, and I'm not knowledegable on the care of those plants. Do I keep cutting each stem off near the base of the stem, or higher up to help procreate more flowers during the summer? Thank you for your answers.

Reply:Their grooming needs are simple. Just cut the fading flower stems near the base. Each stem has a single flower, so there is no point to leaving an ugly-looking stump.
Reply:You can just dead head them (put off the dead flower) or go ahead and cut them down to the bottom. They like partial sun the best and good watering and feed them every 4 to 6 weeks with miracle grow. Good luck they are beautiful. Enjoy the beauty.www.poetry.com
