So I treated myself to 2 pots of these Margareta type plants at the end of May. (see photo) However despite careful watering , deadheading and fertilizing, they now look awful. I've just been out to deadhead them again and at this rate there isn't going to be any flowers left in a few days.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or will they get a second lease of life and flower again.
Any suggestions very welcome.
Thank you

yup, good chop and tomato feed and they will come back. When i buy then unless i want them right then and there likke cut flowers, I buy them in bud otherwise you get a short flush of flowers then have to wait for them to flower again
