Q: I have planted lots of shasta daisies to attract pollinators to my backyard. They have flowered beautifully over summer – but now that fall is on the horizon, is it time to cut them back?
A: Shasta daisies are pretty perennials that don't demand much attention. They do, however, benefit from a hard prune in the fall, once frosts have damaged the leaves and blooms. But there are other times of year that you can give shasta daisies a trim, too: in the spring, and over summer. This guide explains all three.
