Shasta Daisy
Shasta Daisy
Leucanthemum x superbum
Perhaps one of the cheeriest and iconic of all flowers, the Shasta Daisy is a Summer classic. Sown from seed you will get blooms the first year is planted early enough. Plant in an area that you want to keep them as they will perennialize and come back year after year with their beautiful blooms. Their tall strong stems make great cut flowers, and adding a few patches to the landscape is a great idea.
