Leucanthemum x superbum or Shasta
Daisy was formerly known as Chrysanthemum maximum or
Chrysanthemum x superbum. The Shasta Daisy is a profuse
flowering, clump-forming 1 to 4 foot tall perennial plant that
spreads to about 2 feet with deep green scalloped or lobed
foliage. The daisy flowers, white ray florets or 'petals'
surrounding yellow centers consisting of densely packed disk
florets, bloom on stiff stems from early summer to early fall.
Plant in sun or partial sun and well-drained soil. Shasta Daisies
are ideal for a garden's edge or are attractive in butterfly
gardens or combined with other perennials or annuals. Remove faded
flowers for continued bloom and best appearance.
