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.
