Daisy flowers crave full sunlight and need an adequate amount to survive. When planting, pick the area conducive to this requirement. However, avoid an area that might get too hot during summer, as a high temperature will result in a wilting daisy flower. Should this be the case, offer your blooms a bit of shade as a respite from the heat and increase their watering schedule.
