My friend's mother had a large clump of daisys in her backyard for about 50 years. She sold her building last fall, and before she moved, I dug up some of the daisys and transplanted them into my yard. Some of my transplants made it and, until recently, were doing well: I had many buds and several blooms. But, all of a sudden, one stalk started to wither, turned brown and died. I cut that stalk back. Now, a week later, another stalk has died and yet another is beginning to wilt. Is there any way I can save them? My friend's mother was hoping to see them growing in my garden and I hate to disappoint her (and me, too!). Thanks, Barbara

Have you watered them? They will wilt in this heat and drought. If they have been watered, it just might be the high temperatures. If they wilt during the day and look fine at night, it's the heat.

Look under the clump of flowers. If there is a tunnel under it, you may have rodents that eat the roots.

It could also be some kind of disease. You can dig up the plant parts that are not infected and plant them somewhere else. Throw the diseased parts in the trash.

Good luck!

Have you identified which plant they are? 'Daisy' doesn't really tell us much. Different daisy-type flowers need different conditions so an accurate id would help people to help you. Post a picture here or on the Name That Plant Forum if you can.
