Will Shasta Daisy grow in constantly wet sand/full sun?

The former home owner planted them right in front of the house and
they look too informal (flop over) and I don't want to throw them out.
Thanks!

Kev, I have a whole row of shastas growing for cut flowers... I *always*
have to stake them or use hoops. I think in constantly wet conditions you
might be asking for fungus.

Thanks! I have a 5 week old flat of Black-Eyed Susans... Am I going
to have the same problem?

Again, here no care at all needed, I think they also like to dry out in between
waterings.

I do nothing with mine, they are in regular garden soil, they growto just over
4 foot tall and have never needed staking.... They like regular water but like
to get dry inbetween, the more abuse they get the better I think since they
thrive here with NO care. I have Chrysanthemum maximus
