Leucanthemum Whoops-a-daisy 17Cm Pot

Description

Common Name: Shasta Daisy
 

‘Whoops-a-Daisy’ was no accident! It was the result of a planned breeding program at Walters Gardens, Inc. An improvement over the old standard ‘Snowcap’ in many respects; it’s time to look at this new dwarf Leucanthemum.

‘Whoops-a-Daisy’ forms an exceptionally dense, rounded ball-shaped mound of dark green foliage that becomes completely blanketed in large 3-4”, white flowers with gold centers from early through midsummer. It has better flower coverage and a more uniform habit compared to ‘Snowcap’, and the individual flowers have a fuller, fluffier appearance.

Try growing this cute perennial in containers or in the landscape where it will shine brightly near the front of the border.

Shasta Daisies are all-time favourites for the perennial border.  They mix so effortlessly with other perennials that no garden should be without them!

How to Grow

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.
