Shasta Daisy

Shasta Daisy is a classic flowering perennial loved for crisp white petals, sunny yellow centers, and clean green foliage. Its cheerful blooms bring timeless summer color to borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, containers, and pollinator-friendly plantings with a bright, easy-to-pair garden presence.

Why choose Shasta Daisy?

Choose Shasta Daisy for its fresh, traditional flower form and reliable sunny-border appeal. The bright white blooms stand out beautifully against green foliage and blend easily with coneflowers, salvia, catmint, yarrow, coreopsis, and ornamental grasses. Its upright clumping habit makes it useful in mixed perennial beds, along walkways, or in mass plantings for a clean summer display. The flowers are also excellent for cutting, bringing a simple, cheerful garden look indoors.

Shasta Daisy Additional Information

Shasta Daisy is known for bright white ray petals surrounding golden-yellow centers, creating one of the most recognizable perennial flowers for sunny gardens. Blooming typically occurs from early to midsummer, with some additional flowering possible when spent blooms are removed. The foliage forms a basal clump of green leaves, while upright stems carry the flowers above the plant for a clean, open look.

This deciduous perennial dies back after frost and returns from the crown in spring. Deadheading helps maintain a tidy appearance and can extend the floral display. Shasta Daisy is especially useful in cottage gardens, cutting gardens, sunny borders, pollinator plantings, and containers with good drainage. Divide mature clumps every few years as needed to refresh vigor, manage size, and keep the planting full and productive.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Shasta Daisy in full sun to partial shade with average, well-drained soil. Set the crown level with the surrounding soil and space plants so each clump has room for airflow and mature growth.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, sunny beds or container plantings.

3. Mulching: Apply a light layer of mulch around the plant to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Keep mulch slightly away from the crown so new shoots emerge cleanly in spring.

4. Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers for a neater look and possible rebloom. Cut old stems back after frost or in early spring before fresh new growth appears.

FAQs

How large does Shasta Daisy get?
Shasta Daisy size varies by cultivar, but many garden forms grow about 12–36 inches tall when in bloom, with clumps gradually widening as they mature.
When does Shasta Daisy bloom?
Shasta Daisy typically blooms in early to midsummer with white petals and golden-yellow centers. Deadheading can help keep the planting tidy and may extend flowering on some varieties.
Does Shasta Daisy make a good cut flower?
Yes. Shasta Daisy is excellent for fresh arrangements because the sturdy stems and bright, simple blooms pair easily with many other garden flowers.
Should Shasta Daisy be divided?
Yes. Divide mature clumps in spring or early fall when they become crowded or bloom less heavily. Division refreshes the plant and creates additional clumps for the garden.
