The daisies should actually be in lush bloom now, but instead the delicate buds are drying out? This is annoying for every garden owner, but not an inevitable fate. Research and resolve the causes so that the flowering period can finally begin properly.
What's behind drying buds?
In most cases it is probably simply a lack of water, sometimes a lack of nutrients. Other causes include waterlogging (rotten roots cannot transport water or nutrients) or simply the weather. Without sun, buds do not develop into flowers.
Why are my daisy's buds dry?
There arevarious reasonswhy your daisies hang their heads and the buds dry up. The main cause is usually water. Either the daisy suffers from a lack of water or the soil is wet, causing root rot. The rotten roots are no longer able to support the plant. Without your help, the daisy will die in both cases. The weather is another cause. The daisy needs enough sun to bloom lushly. In wet and cool weather the buds suffer.
How do I save my dry daisy?

If the soil is wet, repotting or replacing the sodden soil helps. Be sure to remove all rotten root parts before replanting the daisy. If the soil is OK, then cut out the dry buds and then place the plant in a sunny place. You may want to give it a little liquid fertilizer (€12.00 on Amazon). Then she should recover soon.
What can I do if my daisy is damaged by frost?
How well your plant can survive frost damage depends primarily onthe speciesof daisyThe meadow plants that also grow wild in this country Daisies are hardy and usually tolerate frost quite well. If individual parts of the plant are frozen, cut them off. The plant will soon sprout again and after a few weeks the daisy will have completely recovered. It looks different with the Bornholm daisy, for example. It is only distantly related to the meadow daisy and is one of the non-hardy species and should definitely be protected from frost.
