Use:
The white showy daisies add a fresh touch to the flower border. They have abundant large single white daisies on long strong stems which are great for cutting. They are extremely long-lasting in fresh arrangements and look good with practically all flowers.


Culture:
Shasta daisies are practically indestructible. Removing faded flowers will encourage more blooming and prevent seedlings from taking over the garden. The plants increase quickly and need division every other year. Dividing in early spring is best and cutting the foliage in half will reducing wilting.
