Why do your daisies smell putrid?

Daisies typically have a mild, pleasant fragrance, but if they smell putrid, it could be due to decay or the presence of mold or bacteria. Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot, causing the flowers to emit an unpleasant odor. Additionally, if the daisies are past their prime or have been affected by pests, they may also produce foul smells. Inspecting the plants for signs of disease or rot can help identify the cause.
