It works pretty well.<BR/><BR/>Jenn, I usually cut them back 2 or 3 times (I stop cutting back on July 4). It does keep them shorter and bushier, but they bloom at least 2 weeks later. Last year I did not cut them back (too lazy, I guess). This year I plan to keep them shorter.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1138896310620115672006-02-02T11:05:00.000-05:002006-02-02T11:05:00.000-05:00Do you cut them back by half in late June?This may...Do you cut them back by half in late June?<BR/>This may help make them bushier and less leggy, by default having less area to get brown.<BR/><BR/>If you don't, this might be worth a try. <BR/>I do love their exuberance!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1138878664014755422006-02-02T06:11:00.000-05:002006-02-02T06:11:00.000-05:00I already feel myself turning a pale shade of gree...I already feel myself turning a pale shade of green (with envy) when I see your gorgeous deck and the beautiful flowers. Could you plant other varieties of plants closer to the daisies in the hope that they will hide the dead leaves?Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1138858595056680282006-02-02T00:36:00.000-05:002006-02-02T00:36:00.000-05:00They are so pretty.
