Shasta daisies, or Leucanthemum spp., are stalwarts of the summer garden. Often producing masses of daisy flowers during July, August and September, these perennials are both tough and reliable, returning year after year without fail. But, while they are remarkably easy to grow, it can help to learn how to fertilize Shasta daisies during spring and summer, particularly if yours aren't flowering as well as they used to.
I’ve loved Shasta daisies for many years, although I am particularly fond of the aptly named 'Banana Cream' variety, which produces masses of pale lemon blooms and looks great in pots. With a light feed and regular deadheading, I have enjoyed 'Banana Cream' flowers right through until the first frost.
