This is what my Shasta daisys look like. What should I do to them to make them come back to life? Or do I just leave them alone? I just planted them around 2 weeks ago.

Hello @Newbie2021

Your daisy looks like it's growing fine. However the browning leaves could either be two things. Over watering, or too much heat.

How much water do you give your daisy??? And has there been an increase in temperature lately, causing the leaves to brown???

Dead heading the shriveling blooms will also help with the plant's energy to produce more flowers, instead of wasting it on forming seed pods. Unless you want to save your daisy's seeds.

I have been watering them about once a week unless we get rain. It's been between 80-90 degrees here for the past 2 weeks. The little flower heads, do I cut those off? I thought those just hadn't bloomed yet or am I wrong?

Its hard to overwater outdoor plants. With 80-90 degree temps watering every few days may work best.

I would have given more water then once a week for a newly planted plant at those temps. If it keeps going down hill over the next few days I would cut off all blooms and let it put it's efforts into roots

A new plant not rooted yet, in 90F heat will need water each evening to recoup from the day. Not alot, not soggy, just water it a little, like maybe a quart of water. You can also cut the tops off to about 4 inches tall, let it flush out some new growth when it is ready.When you plant new things you damage the roots some and it has a hard time then continuing to try to support all the tops it has. So it wilts and turns brown. It will look nicer next year after it has time to settle in.

I've been watering my Shasta daisies everyday, they are new plants.

Definitely cut off all blooms to conserve the plants energy and as Frillylily said, cut it back to about 4 inches tall. A little water each evening for at least a week should see some improvement.

When I put new flowers in especially with heat comparable to yours I try to water a little every day for the first week, then at least 2 to 3 times a week for the next couple weeks, just to help them get settled in. After that, you can most likely cut back to weekly.

You may lose half of that plant but in the end, you could save it. Beside what everyone recommends, I would make sure the root ball is soaking up water into the center of it. You can do that by soaking it in a bucket for a little while. Additionally, while it soaks, you can fill the hole with water and let it drain down. That will baby it a little. Also was it rootbound? It may help to loosen up the root ball, ripping some apart if it is all roots and no soil wrapping around and around in a circle.
