Leucanthemum Becky

Leucanthemum superbum 'Becky'

Common Name: Shasta Daisy

Prized for its durability in the hot, humid summers of the south and its cold tolerance in the north, 'Becky' has proven to be a sturdy, hardy cultivar.

Copious amounts of very large, 3" single, white blooms are produced atop strong stems which are ideal for cutting. Despite its height, this variety does not usually require staking.

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!
