Shasta daisies should be divided every 2-3 years to maintain their health and vigor.
The best time to divide Shasta daisies is in early spring, just as new growth begins to emerge, or in early fall after they have finished blooming.
Dividing them in early spring allows the plants to establish new roots before the growing season, while dividing in early fall gives them time to settle in before winter.
To divide Shasta daisies, dig up the clump carefully, ensuring you get as many roots as possible. Use a sharp knife or garden space and gently separate it into smaller sections, making sure each division has healthy roots and shoots.
Immediately replant the divisions at the same depth as the original clump in well-drainig soil, water thoroughly and keep soil moist until new growth appears.
Where we live, it's always a good idea to add a layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect the roots from hard frosts and freezes.
