Children draw daisies because they are sweet, simple and sunny. The Shasta daisy brings all that pure floral joy to a garden – and more. A hybrid perennial bred by renowned 1800s American horticulturist Luther Burbank, Leucanthemum x superbum combines traits from multiple wild daisy species from Europe and Japan to create a large-flowered daisy with a long bloom period and a more robust and structured habit for a garden.
You’ll find Shasta daisies in full sun gardens throughout USDA zones 4-9. It’s a popular choice for the gardener with sustainability and the environment in mind as it soldiers through drought and provides sustenance for pollinators and beneficial insects. Shasta daisies are popular in cutting gardens, as their blooms will last in a floral arrangement for a week or more.
