Blue Star' is a new variety with rolled-up, starlike ray flowers. So, even here in the north, one can easily get glowing carpets of color as early as the end of June. They look best planted in large drifts in sunny borders or edges.
Some low twigs placed in the bed at planting time give extra support to the slender stems.
These will later be covered by the feathery foliage. If the midsummer weather is hot and dry, flowering may be reduced. Keeping the soil sufficiently moist at all times will usually prolong flowering, otherwise try cutting back the old growth. Swan River Daisies are brilliant grown in hanging baskets, window boxes and other containers. My favorite variety is the traditional 'Purple Splendor' with rich purple flowers.
