Leucanthemum Banana Cream II

Leucanthemum superbum 'Banana Cream II' PP33851 CPBRAF………"AMAZING DAISIES® Collection

Common Name: Shasta Daisy

This improvement on the classic 'Banana Cream' takes all the characteristics that gardeners love and kicks it up a notch. Just like the original, flower buds are lemon yellow and eventually brighten to creamy white. Improvements include being more floriferous, holding the yellow color longer, a more appealing habit, and earlier to start flowering. Growers will love that the vernalization week requirements are much shorter — we recommend 4-6 weeks for best performance, although we have observed flowering without vernalization.

Shasta Daisies are all-time favorites for the perennial border. The cheery flowers begin to appear in early summer and continue on for several months if faithfully deadheaded. Shastas mix so effortlessly with other perennials that no garden should be without them!
