Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Banana Cream’
Shasta Daisy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.316.770
(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) Shasta Daisies enjoy universal appeal as a garden plant and cutflower. They are easy perennials that perform best in a sunny border. This midsized selection has lemon-yellow petals surrounding a yellow button eye, the petals ageing to soft butter yellow then finally ivory. 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 recent introduction bred by Kevin Hurd and introducted by Walters Gardens of Michigan. USPPP, CPBRAF: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
