Leucanthemum superbum (Shasta Daisy)
Color Name: Banana Cream II
Banana Cream Shata daisy has just gotten a whole lot better! The improved version called Banana Cream II has all the features you have grown to love, just so much nicer. Now more floriferous, Banana Cream II blooms earlier and holds the buttery yellow bloom color longer. Standing 20-24 inches tall and wide, the dense bright green foliage is a perfect backdrop for the full coverage of flowers that emerge. This reblooming Shasta Daisy is hardy in zones 5-9 and likes to be planted in full sun locations.
Banana Cream II is long blooming and attracts butterflies and pollinators to the garden. If you are looking for an easy to grow perennial garden border, consider giving Banana Cream II a try.
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.
