Help with daisy

So in the (second picture) is my daisy last summer, I’ve had it 3 years and it has always looked good but since last winter it’s not grown back and now looks like this (first picture) is this dead or is there anything I can do it has changed position as I’ve moved but it was like this before the move! Hope you can help? 
Thanks in advance

    Beyond hope. If it's a margarite daisy you buy for summer bedding you have done well to keep it for so long but the frosts this year have seen off a lot of plants that would normally survive, My hardy fuschia being one of them 
    Have you ever refreshed the compost it's in or fed it?

    I do usually feed it but haven’t since winter and the soil is the same soil it was planted in 3 years ago, think I did add a little more soil lasts year as foxes were digging at it.

    Cut your losses and get rid, see it as a new planting opportunity.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    If I had  a dress that looked as bad as your plant I would chuck it but years ago when money was tight I would often remake it into something else so I suppose that is the same as growing it to take cuttings!

    The thing is I know how beautiful it was before and was hoping it could be saved, since I’ve had it a few years now and I’m not one for throwing things out either lol
