Q.
I put a
Green Bush Daisy in late this last spring.
I got lots of blooms at first but now no blooms and the plant is yellowing. What’s wrong?
A.
The Green Bush Daisy or Euryops should bloom for you all through the summer and
stay dark green if the soil has been amended at the time of planting with
compost and you apply fertilizers regularly.
If
you put this plant in a rock landscape with very little soil improvement or
have it surrounded in rock mulch then yellowing is quite common. It will do
much better with improved soils and an organic surface mulch such as wood
mulch.
For
it to continue to flower through the summer, the soil should remain moist and
not dry out. They will not like rock mulch at all if this is what you have.
Try
adding some iron and good quality fertilizer such as Miracle Gro or Peters applied
to the soil and watered in about once a month.
