Description
Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum) is a quintessential, hardy perennial garden favorite first bred by Luther Burbank in 1890. Celebrated for its cheerful, crisp white blooms surrounding bright golden-yellow central disks, it produces sturdy, upright stems reaching 24 to 36 inches in height. Featuring deep green, lance-shaped foliage and long-lasting 3- to 4-inch flowers, Shasta Daisy blooms abundantly from early summer through autumn. Highly attractive to butterflies and native pollinators, it brings timeless cottage-garden charm to borders, perennial beds, and fresh floral bouquets.
