Leucanthemum superbum (Shasta Daisy)
Color Name: Spun Silk
Like the beautifully intricate creations of arachnids, 'Spun Silk' brings a wild new look to the classic Shasta Daisy. Narrow petals with fringed edges create the "spider" look, with the 4½" graceful white flowers topping a medium-sized habit. The perfect choice for bringing new and interesting texture to the garden.
Shasta Daisies are all-time favorites for the perennial border. The cheery flowers begin to appear in early summer and continue on for several months if faithfully deadheaded. Shastas 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.
