Description
This beautiful daisy is a newer version of the much-loved Shasta Daisy, which blooms from late spring until cooler weather sets in. The flowers are fully double, and give you great variety: Some flowers have standard petals, just plenty of them. Others have twisted petals, still others pointed petals. The plant is a tough dependable perennial that keeps bloom from late spring until the cooler weather of fall begins.
The Shasta Daisies are great plants, hybridized from a European wildflower. They're not invasive like our common daisy, and usually have larger flowers. Whats more, the flowers are classic white, and look great both in more formal perennial displays and in informal wildflower gardens.
In recent years, the hybridizers have worked on this species, creating various flower forms from doubles to all sorts of variations on the original.
