Leucanthemum superbum (Shasta Daisy)
Color Name: Spoonful of Sugar
The first thing you will notice about this cute Shasta Daisy is the enormous flower size. The second thing you will notice is its incredibly compact, dome-like habit, with flowers produced almost all the way to the ground. 4.5 inch, creamy white flowers have two rows of very long petals. Flowers are held tight and compact against the attractive, dark green foliage, with a second wave of flowers following the initial wave. 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.
