Perennial Shasta
Daisy
 These
wonderful plants are right at home in any sunny perennial garden,
where its large white blooms compliment a wide range of flower colors.
The Shasta Daisy has been adored by gardeners for generations and
remains a favorite with our customers. Flower stalks can grow
24 - 36 inches tall, while the dark green foliage remains 6 - 12
inches tall. Flowering begins in early spring and continues
through out the summer. Their long, stiff stems make them very good
for cutting and using in flower arrangements.
Growing Shasta Daisies:
Plant Shasta Daisies
in full sun. Plants will grow in a wide range of soils but prefer
a well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Prepare
your soil by working in plenty of composted manure and peat moss
before planting. Plants will benefit from a top dressing of
compost and bone meal applied in early spring and another feeding
of liquid fish emulsion in late spring. Cut back spent flower
stems to the ground to encourage heavier flowering.
