Leucanthemum superbum (Shasta Daisy)
Color Name: Daisy May
This well-mannered Shasta Daisy brings cheerful sunshine to borders, bouquets, and containers. Bright white, overlapping petals, centered with gold, form a solid dome of 3 inch blooms that displays to great advantage all season with deadheading. It puts on a terrific garden show!
Shasta Daisies are all-time favorites for the perennial border. They mix so effortlessly with other perennials that no garden should be without them!
Growing Tips: Leucanthemums require full sun and well-drained soil to be at their best. Winter drainage is especially important; planting in raised beds will help to provide these conditions. Shastas make good perennials for Southern gardens, though partial shade is recommended in the warmest zones. Division can be done in either spring or fall, and is recommended due to this perennial's tendency to be short-lived.
