Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Alaska’


Shasta Daisy

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.316.520


(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) No sunny border would seem complete without the familiar presence of Shasta Daisies. This is one of the most popular selections, and perhaps the best for colder regions. Flowers are large single white daisies with a yellow eye, showy in the garden and excellent for cutting. Divide plants every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigour. Remove faded flowers to extend blooming. Shasta Daisy is a well-behaved garden hybrid, and should not be confused with the weedy Ox-eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare). Attractive to butterflies.
