About the Daisy - Becky
Shasta :
The Daisy 'Shasta' Leucanthemum ‘Becky Daisy’,
leucanthemum superbum, is the longest blooming daisy
in the Leucanthemum family. With bright, large,
white beautiful flowers held above its dark green
foliage, it has a plant height of 3’ and a plant
spread of 18-24”. Being Perennial of the Year in
2003, one can see why. ‘Becky Daisy’ blooms from
July to September, and if deadheaded, the blooming
time will be extended.
‘Becky Daisy’ should be grown in full sun, but
can tolerate some afternoon shade, in well-drained
soil. It will not tolerate excessive moisture or wet
soil in the winter. Combine ‘Becky Daisy’ with
Veronica “Royal Candles”, Perovskia ‘Russian Sage’
or Scabiosa “Butterfly Blue”. It also is great for
formal and informal gardens, as cut flowers, in mass
plantings or in the perennial border. This low
maintenance perennial is great for first time
gardeners.
