I have a daisy plant which came with flowers, but after they died, no more grew back. The plant is doing great, but no flowers. My local florist suggested a time release food especially for flowering plants, but still no action. Any suggestions?

IT sounds like you need to increase the acidy in the soil by using a lime fertilizer
obviously the time release isn't working so it must
be the soil.
Try a pH soil tester at any garden store and test for yourself you will find you have to increase the acidy

I don't think daisies need fertilizer. Maybe you are just making the plant good and healthy with fertilizer, but if you would stop you might get flowers. Good luck!

If you are adding more & more fertilizer, you may be adding too much nitrogen.
Choose a fertilizer with a high middle number.
The first & last numbers should be very low.
Remember flowering plants also enjoy a good dose of sunshine.

There are oodles of plants called daisy. Is it a Margarette, a Shasta, a gerbera, coreopsos? Is it potted outside? These plants are not related and all need fairly specific things.
