How to Care for the Plant
Water
Dimorphotheca plants should be watered in the morning and care should be taken not to get the leaves wet to prevent rot. As a general rule of thumb, daisies usually require approximately 1 to 2 inches of water per week during the summer, either through irrigation, normal rainfall, or a combination of both. During spring and fall, daisies benefit from about 1 to 2 inches of water applied every other week.
Pruning
After the flowering season the stems should be cut back to ground level if you plan to grow them as a perennial.
Fertilizer
Fertilize with a little compost.
