Shasta Daisy 100 Seeds Leucanthemum superbum

Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum) is a classic perennial flower admired for its bright, cheerful appearance and reliable performance in gardens. A hybrid species developed by American horticulturist Luther Burbank in the late 19th century, the Shasta daisy was created by crossing several daisy species from Europe and North America to produce a hardier, longer-blooming plant. It typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall, forming clumps of dark green, lance-shaped leaves and sturdy stems that bear large, showy, white-petaled flowers with sunny yellow centers. Blooming from early summer through fall, these iconic flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making them a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Leucanthemum superbum thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating a range of conditions but performing best with moderate moisture and good air circulation. The plants are low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or cutting gardens, where their long-lasting blooms make excellent fresh or dried arrangements. With its pure white petals and golden centers symbolizing simplicity and joy, the Shasta daisy has become one of the most beloved ornamental perennials, combining classic beauty with durability and ecological value in cultivated landscapes.
