Leucanthemum General Information
Shasta daisies are unsurpassed in the border and for cutting. Cheerful flowers late spring to midsummer. Also known as Chrysanthemum superbum. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.
Leucanthemum Plant Care
Give them a sunny spot and a balanced plant food in the spring and again when buds form for healthy, showy plants. Remove flowers as they fade to promote further bloom. Give these plenty of space since they don't like to be crowded. Can be divided every 2-3 years in spring or fall. Good winter drainage is helpful.
