The Shasta Daisy is a timeless beauty, this classic gardeners' favorite boasts 3-inch blooms with showy white petals surrounding a vibrant yellow disk center on stems with contrasting glossy, dark green leaves. This hardy perennial will grace your garden with 2-3 feet tall blooms year after year. Developed by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank in the late 19th century, he hybridized several species of daisies to create a more robust and attractive flower. Burbank named Shasta Daisies after Mount Shasta in California due to their snow-white petals, which resemble the snowy peak of the mountain. These long-lasting wildflowers attract pollinators and bring a touch of elegance to any landscape. Shasta Daisies bloom the first year with blooms lasting from early summer to early fall, perfect for garden beds, borders, and wildflower gardens. Enjoy their cheerful, long-lasting blooms as cut flowers or in garden displays!

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 10 - 12 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last average frost date in Spring. Harden off then transplant seedlings, or direct sow seeds, outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. Cold stratification is not required, but planting early is best for first-year bloom establishment. To direct sow, add 1/2" - 3/4" layer of peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil to top of a mostly sunny and clear area. Broadcast seeds then water to push seeds into area. Keep moist until established. May divide clumps to stimulate new growth in the Fall. Blooms the first year. Adaptive, self-seeding perennial.| Planting Depth: | 1/8 inch |
| Spacing: |
2 - 3 feet |
