Our native Shasta Daisies have long been an
integral part of the sunny perennial garden. They give a
clean, crisp feel to the garden. These sun lovers are summer
bloomers. They are drought tolerant and are rarely bothered by
deer. They also will grow in the presence of walnut trees
(which give off a toxin). Both hummingbirds and butterflies
are attracted by Shasta Daisies. The varieties that we are
offering this year differ in height, color and type of flower.
With proper care, Shasta Daisies should always look
attractive. After the flowers have faded, cut the stalks
ENTIRELY TO THE GROUND. The plants will then bounce back and
produce a nice flush of basal foliage which stays attractive
almost to December. These simple beauties also make wonderful
cut flowers.
