Just planted my bush daisy four days ago and it's wilting terribly. I put it in a spot with good sunlight and watered it very well when I first planted it, but it started wilting the very next day...How do I revive it?

when you planted it did you break up the roots that went around the bottom of the pot ? Make a ring around the plant in the soft soil like a small moat fill that with water every day watering it just once is not enough and if its directly in the sun you need to shade it in the hottest part of the day for a few days untill it becomes used to its new home

Sounds like transplant shock to me, too. Keep it well watered for a few days and it should recover. If it's really a daisy, it's a tough little dudette. It will love the full sun shortly, but it's hard for the plant to adjust to its new spot while being beaten with the heat.

Mine did the same thing then shrivelled and died.
I thought it might be a bug eating at it.
