Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Victorian Secret’
Shasta Daisy |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.316.490
(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) Shasta Daisies are the familiar garden daisy, and always a dependable choice for sunny borders in reasonably fertile soil. This is a compact selection producing ruffled white petals, single to semi-double, surrounding a yellow button eye, blooming continuously throughout the summer. Ideal for near the front of a sunny border, as a cut flower and in containers. Beautiful when massed. Attractive to butterflies. Removing faded flowers will greatly increase the blooming time. Shasta Daisy is a well-behaved garden hybrid, and should not be confused with the weedy Ox-eye Daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare. A Terra Nova Nurseries of Oregon introduction. USPP#22654: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
