The Shasta daisy plant is a vibrant addition to any summer garden and a classic flowering favorite for months of color. Flowers are characterized by rays of white petals surrounding a sunny yellow center. Their height can vary from 6 to 48 inches tall in sizes suitable for small urban lots or spacious properties. The sturdy stems and long vase life make Shasta daisies superb cut flowers and popular easy care perennials. Shasta daisy prefers well-amended soil that drains well as poorly draining soil can lead to root rot.
