Your Shasta daisy should be finishing flowering anytime now . If there are any green shoots on the plant , trim right down to them , cutting off all dead looking stems also . Replant into good new compost (pH irrelevant) , stand in a sheltered position in its pot outside and keep moist even in the winter months .
When you decide a suitable place in your garden (bright and open) , it should reward you with a good display next year .
PS . Divide either now or springtime ; they're pretty tough although short - lived perennials .
Perfect, I'll take a look on the weekend. There are a few green leaves at the base. Would be greatt o know whether it's worth dividing now or leaving until Spring
Exactly how I thought it might look ; cut off all dead stems and divide the basal shoots accordingly . You can make quite a few plants out of yours ! Just pot them on like I said earlier and they should be fine !

PS :- As a bit of a challenge , I like to purchase plants from our local garden centres 'sale-bench' !
Some 'written off' perennials have blossomed the following year into good specimens . Surprising what you can find in the 'bargain-corners' !

I find the bargain corner irresistible! ?
