Alaska Shasta Daisy Seeds

Leucanthemum x superbum

Shasta daisy is possibly the oldest hybridized American garden flower. Large, bright white flowers bloom continuously from summer to fall, making it a beautiful addition to any perennial garden. Plants are easy to grow from seed, and long-lived for years of enjoyment. The 3" blooms attract bees and butterflies, and make great cut flowers. Produce colored flowers by placing stems in a water with food coloring!

    These shasta daisies are showstoppers! If you start indoors in Jan or Feb, they do bloom the first year after transplanting out (July here in western Washington state, 8b) and get progressively bigger and taller thereafter. You can see the little 2ft tall first year daisies and the 4ft second and third year. You can also divide them and transplant. Really fun, robust and easy to grow.
