Leucanthemum superbum (Shasta Daisy)
Color Name: Whoops-a-Daisy
Whoops-a-Daisy features an exceptionally dense, rounded ball-shaped mound of dark green foliage that becomes completely blanketed in large 3-4", white flowers with gold centers from early through midsummer.
Try growing this cute perennial in containers or in the landscape where it will shine brightly near the front of the border.
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.
