Shasta Daisy Crazy Daisy


Leucanthemum x superbum Crazy Daisy
Shasta Daisy Crazy Daisy: Fully double 2 1/2-inch daisies have a small, round golden center and long, narrow, snowy-white petals, some held out flat, others quilled; some held straight, others twisted; some solid at the tip, others frilled. They are held facing up and out from the dark green foliage.
Hardy perennial reaches about 2 feet tall and stays fresh and green much of the year!

 

Big Double Blooms are Frilled, Quilled, and Twisted!
2 1/2-inch daisies are jam-packed with wildly-varying petals!

No two blooms are just alike on this incredible just-for-fun Shasta Daisy! The 2 1/2-inch blooms are fully double -- in fact, they're so crammed with petals you might be tempted to call them triple! -- and boast solid white petals around a small, buttery center. Beyond that, every bloom is distinct. The petals take just about every form you can imagine, from quilled to frilled to twisted to flat! On a plant in full bloom, this creates an unbelievably lush, chaotic effect!

The plant reaches 24 to 28 inches tall, making it a great size for beds, borders, or even containers. A hardy perennial, it is long-lived and very vigorous, blooming in great abundance all summer long. The flowers are triggered by warm weather, so once the heat begins, so do the daisies! And they won't stop until the first cold snap. They do best in full sun and are not too fussy about soil type.
