Did you planted your Damianita daisies in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily?
Did you planted your Damianita daisies in well-drained soil?
Do you water your Damianita daisies frequently?
Do you feed your Damianita daisies regularly?
Do you prune and deadhead your Damianita daisies to keep them low-growing and to encourage continued blooming?
Do you keep your Damianita Daisy free of pests and diseases?
Damianita daisies require full sun for best development and flowering. While they can survive in partial shade, Damianita daisies will become elongated and leggy without adequate sunlight. Fungal infections are also more likely when Damianita daisies are not given enough light.
Damianita daisies tolerate most types of soil but grow best in poor-quality soil that provides adequate drainage. Choose a well-draining soil, or make your own by combining regular potting soil with some perlite or sand. Soils rich in nutrients will cause Damianita daisies to become leggy and flower less often.
Damianita are drought-tolerant flowers. They often do well when planted with water-wise plants such as yuccas, aloes, and even some cacti. Regular rainfall should be adequate for Damianita daisies when planted outdoors. If necessary, supplement infrequent rainfall with only a couple of extra waterings a year to help your Damianita daisies thrive.
No fertilizer is required for Damianita daisies as they thrive in low-nutrient soils.
As they mature, Damianita daisies take on a woody, shrub-like appearance. Regular pruning will help to keep them low-growing and looking compact. It is best to prune the plants in early spring or summer so new growth occurs during the active growing season. Regular deadheading will also ensure that the plant blooms continually throughout the year.
Good job! You are taking good care of your Damianita Daisy.
Damianita daisies are generally not plagued by insect pests. The only issue to watch out for is root rot if the plant is growing in soil that does not drain well. If Damianita daisies are allowed to stand in waterlogged soil, they will fail to thrive and drop their leaves and blooms.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
