Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Sunny Side Up’
Shasta Daisy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.316.730
(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) No sunny border would seem complete without the familiar presence of Shasta Daisies. This unique selection has white double-petalled flowers with a raised, knobby egg yolk-yellow centre. Excellent for cutting. Removing faded flowers will greatly increase the blooming time. Divide plants in the spring every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigour. Shasta Daisy is a well-behaved garden hybrid, and should not be confused with the weedy Ox-eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare). USPP#12837: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
