You could be wondering “Why are my Daisies wilting?”
Sometimes watering a daisy too much or too little will cause it to experience extreme problems. If you aren’t watering the daisy enough, then it might look wilted. You can easily turn things around by changing your watering habits, but you can kill the plant through extreme negligence. Sunlight issues could cause the plant to die as well.
If your daisies look a little tired, they may not be getting the water they need. You can probably cure what ails them by reviewing basic maintenance procedures. Dig a small hole about 3 inches deep in the soil near the wilting daisy clump.
