Product Details
This well-mannered Shasta Daisy, Leucanthemum x superbum Daisy May® brings cheerful sunshine to borders, bouquets, and containers.

Until recently, we listed Shasta Daisies under the genus Chrysanthemum, but as long-time gardeners, we've become used to having plant names change. What hasn't changed is the plants themselves, which are some of the showiest and most reliable perennials for the summer garden. At peak bloom, they produce a mass of daisies so clean and white, they compete in brilliance with the sun. When you want white daisies, this is where you look.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Wonderful 
A viewer from Baltimore, MD zone 7
Just FYI, this is a first year garden in a new house. Our soil is very thick clay, so I dug out the garden about 20 inches and mixed in rock, sand, and garden soil. I raised the bed level 4 inches over the lawn height. The plants were planted according to spacing specifications, with May Night sage behind and Jan Louise dianthus in front.
Sparkle and Pizazz!

Leucanthemum (Shasta Daisy)
Formerly classified as Chrysanthemum, Shasta Daisies are some of the showiest and most reliable plants for the summer garden. They produce an abundant supply of flowers that come in a range of sizes and shapes. Their colors make for stunning displays in mixed beds.
Light/Watering: Plant in full sun in well-drained soil.
Fertilizer/Soil and pH: Leucanthemum enjoy rich fertile soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring.
Companions: Plant with Liatris, Hemerocallis, Monarda, Campanula and Delphinium.
Reflowering: Deadhead to promote new buds and trim back stems to about 12″ after flowering to encourage rebloom.
Dividing/Transplanting: The center of older varieties will weaken over the years and the plant should be lifted and divided in spring every 2 or 3 years. For more information about dividing perennials, check out Making More Perennials: A Guide to Simple Division.
