Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Esther Read’
Shasta Daisy |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.316.580
(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) No sunny border would seem complete without the familiar presence of Shasta Daisies. This is an older British selection, featuring fully double white flowers, almost like a florist’s Mum. Excellent in tubs or mixed containers. Flowers are ideal for cutting. Divide plants every 2 to 3 years in spring, to maintain vigour. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly increase the blooming time. Attractive to butterflies. Often listed under the incorrect spelling ‘Esther Reed'.
