1000 Seeds Shasta Daisy Leucanthemum x superbum Perennial Flower
Shasta Daisy is a classic perennial flower treasured by gardeners for its crisp white petals and bright golden centers. Blooming through summer, it brings a clean, cheerful look to borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens, and it returns year after year with minimal fuss.
The long-lasting flowers are excellent for fresh arrangements and add striking contrast when planted in mass or mixed with other perennials. Plants form tidy clumps of dark green foliage and bloom most freely in full sun with well-drained soil. Allow spent blooms to fade if you would like them to self-sow, or deadhead to encourage more flowers through the season. An easy, rewarding choice for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
