    I'm not quite familiar with the climate in your country. If it is blooming, then chances are that the environment is perfect for the plant at the moment.

    Most cultivars will not tolerate frost, so if there is a chance that it will frost at any point, then I would recommend growing these in container where you can move them indoors, since they won't be hardy in your area.

    If there is no chance of freezing whether where you live, then there will not be any need to protect the plant further.

    This does appear to be related to saturated soils. Unfortunately, there is not much that you can do. You may try and, proactively, apply fungicides to the area. This can Help prevent further infection.

    Just be sure that these have plenty of time to dry out. It is not likely that you will ever have to water them unless you are experiencing extreme drought. Even then, you will find that these dry climate flowers outshine anything else in the area.

    I do think that your plant is closer related to the Cape Marigold, however. This ca be called "African Daisy" and will have very similar care, but is not a true Daisy.
