Shasta Daisy Leucanthemum superbum 'Becky'
Shasta Daisy Leucanthemum superbum 'Becky'


 
Sturdy stems of standard daisies that bloom later in the season.

Perennial of the Year 2003

(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) No sunny border would seem complete without the familiar presence of Shasta Daisies. This is a very tall selection that exhibits excellent tolerance to summer heat and humidity. Flowers are large single white daisies with a yellow eye, valued in the garden and excellent for cutting. Divide plants every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigour. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly increase the blooming time. May require staking if grown in rich soil. Attractive to butterflies.
