Leucanthemum superbum 'Marshmallow' PP33878 CPBRAF

AMAZING DAISIES® Collection

Common Name: Shasta Daisy

A new and unique look for Proven Winners® Shasta Daisies, 'Marshmallow' has a puffy look just like the sweet treat. Large, 3½" fully double, bright white flowers absolutely cover the medium-sized habit. Growers will love that the low vernalization requirements: we recommend 4-6 weeks for best performance, although we have observed flowering without vernalization.

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.
