I purchased some hanging flower baskets with no name of the flower on them. They are daisy shaped pink and purple with yellow centres about half the size of daisies. The stems are about two feet long and hang over the side of the basket. Anyone have a clue what they are and how to look after them?

Maybe they are Asters.
