Origin: Introduced to the garden world in 1901, the Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum) is a hybrid combining the best qualities of the oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), English field daisy (Leucanthemum maximum) and Portuguese field daisy (Leucanthemum lacustre). It was bred by American horticulturist Luther Burbank as an easy-care ornamental alternative for the home garden. He aptly named his showy new flower after the snow-capped Mount Shasta, located not far from his home in northern California.Learn moreabout the history of the Shasta daisy. Where to plant: Plant Shasta daisies in full sun to light shade in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Good soil drainage is especially important in winter because damp and soggy soil around the root crown of the plant can lead to rot. When to plant: In spring or early summer, after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds can also be sown outdoors from early spring through summer and will often flower the first year if started early indoors. In colder climates, avoid planting Shasta daisies in the fall because they may not become established in time to survive winter. How to plant: To improve drainage, add organic matter to the soil before planting. Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart to ensure good air circulation. Water requirements: Although Shasta daisies prefer soil thats kept evenly moist, well-established plants can tolerate short periods of drought. In fact, overwatering often does more harm than underwatering, since Shastas dont like wet feet. For the best performance, give your plants about an inch of water per week during summer dry spells. Staking: The stems of taller varieties of Shasta daisies may need to be staked if the flowers begin weighing them down. As an alternative, you can pinch back the stems of your plants in early spring to reduce their height and encourage bushier growth. Pruning and deadheading: Deadheading the spent flowers of Shasta daisies will extend their bloom period and prevent plants from going to seed. In the fall, after your plants have finished blooming, cut back the dead stems to basal growth and cover with a layer of mulch to provide winter protection. Propagation: Although Shasta daisies readily self-sow, the offspring dont always look like the parent plants. The most reliable propagation method is to divide your plants every other year. Because Shastas are often short-lived perennials, this will also help to maintain their vigor and increase their lifespan. The best time for division is in early spring or immediately after flowering. Tracking available for all orders $10 and above.
