This was the Perennial Plant Association's Plant of the Year for 2003. It's great because it's beautiful, growing up to 3 feet tall with a 4-5 inch flower head. It flowers from summer to fall if deadheaded occasionally, the flower stalks stand up in hard summer rains, it is great for northern as well as southern gardeners, and the flowers make great cut flowers. Give it full sun and average soil. This one is very prolific and very hardy here. It grows vigorously and multiplies rapidly. (Sunlight Gardens)
Snowcap is a nice short plant, but it still has the same large and lovely white flowers that the taller Shasta Daisies do. I needed something short to put in front of the border and right next to the grassy walkway that would show off well and not grow tall enough to flop over the pathway. Snowcap worked perfectly.
Discovered by Walters Gardens, 'Banana Cream' Shasta Daisy is a lovely newer color for Shasta Daisies. The 4-inch wide flowers are lemon yellow when they open, brightening to light butter yellow, and finally to creamy white as they mature. An extra row of ray petals gives the flowers a fuller appearance than truly single varieties have. Since it produces flower buds at each axillary shoot, 'Banana Cream' blooms prolifically all summer long atop strong, upright stems. Keep plants deadheaded for the longest bloom period.
a nice short daisy, only gets to 12-14 inches tall here.
Ice Star blooms for a long time and is easy to divide every few years. It does not reseed itself in my garden,
