Fringed, white petals like shaved coconut surround the crested yellow centers of these unique daisies. With a diameter of 3 inches, they really make a statement! Their long, sturdy stems are perfect for cutting, so you can enjoy them indoors or out.
Shasta Daisies are all-time favorites for the perennial border. The cheery flowers begin to appear in early summer and continue on for several months if faithfully deadheaded. Shastas mix so effortlessly with other perennials that no garden should be without them!

Leucanthemums require full sun and well-drained soil to be at their best. Winter drainage is especially important; planting in raised beds will help to provide these conditions. Shastas make good perennials for Southern gardens, though partial shade is recommended in the warmest zones.
Division can be done in either spring or fall, and is recommended due to this perennial's tendency to be short-lived.
