Gerber Daisies do very well in the ground. They prefer well drained but consisitently moist soil in full sun. Wet soil will cause them to rot. They will usually bloom on and off all season, especially if deadheaded. They are reportedly only hardy to zone 8, but mine have returned for two years straight. (I'm in zone 6b/7a)

I love daisies! I never keep them in a pot. I'm in zone 10 or 11 (I couldn't quite figure out the map!). Anyway, I do know that they love full sun and if you trim them regularly they are very happy. I have one plant that blooms year round! Good luck!

Have a happy, loved filled day!!

lilylu, if you put them up against a structure, like your house, you can create a "micro zone" that will be warmer, and then if you mulch them, or cover them with plastic and straw, you can probably overwinter them there.
i was going to say (but was at work and not supposed to be posting) i had mine in a bed that was north east facing, and they bloomed great. i didn't do anything to them and they came back year after year. of course, i am in a warmer spot than you, but...
with a carefully planned (or happily accidental) micro climate, you can gain 2 or 3 zones sometimes.
