My apologies for the repost. I've posted this twice now but haven't
gotten a response. My daisies look so awkward and I want to make them
better: Thanks in advance for any responses!

My margharite daisies are losing leaves near the bottom of the stem,
leaving a long bare stem exposed with a ball of leaves near the top. Is
this normal? Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,
