Description
A happy flower that lasts and lasts! The Becky Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum 'Becky') is the longest-blooming Daisy in the Leucanthemum family! With large, bright white, beautiful ray petals held above its dark green foliage, you can see why the Becky Shasta Daisy was named Perennial of the Year in 2003!
Reaching a height of 3 to 4 feet, the Becky Daisy typically blooms from July to September, and if deadheaded, the blooming time will be extended further into early Fall and increase how many blooms are on the plant! The bright yellow disks in the center are pollinator landing pads as each strong, slender stem reaches up towards the sky!
In comparison to classic Shasta Daisies, Becky maintains larger flowers, with wider petals, atop stronger stems which won't require any staking. The dense clumps of deep green leaves are only about 2 feet wide, making them ideal for any sized garden application! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 5 through 9, the versatile Daisy is easy to grow, and there is a toughness hidden behind the lovely blooms!
Planting and Application:
Long-lasting Daisies are amazing as cut flowers so be sure to include one in cut flower gardens for your bouquet enjoyment! Both refined and wildflower-like for front yard garden beds and also a fun and youthful addition to a Children's Garden! Daisies are a bright and colorful mailbox garden plant, a small garden specimen and large landscape focal point, and an upgraded classic Cottage border garden plant!
Becky Daisy even works great in seating area mixed planters as a filler and specimen, or as a sunny porch and patio container garden! Any garden becomes a pollinator garden because Daisies are rich in nectar and pollen for all your native and honey bees, butterflies, and even a Hummingbird or two. All stopping by to feast on these sunny blooms!
It also is great for formal and informal gardens, in low-maintenance mass plantings to fill a hillside with fresh color, or in a perennial border as either edging or accent plants. Use in rows or in groupings to best display the effects these perennials lend to your garden beds and borders! The plant becomes even more striking when the Becky Daisy is combined with varieties such as Royal Candles Veronica, Perovskia Russian Sage, or Butterfly Blue Scabiosa.
- Large Bright White Rays & Sunny Yellow Disks
- Deep Green Foliage Clumps Are Neat & Tidy
- Longest-Lasting Daisy in the Garden & the Vase!
- Both Formal & Fun & Very Easy-Care
- Specimen, Accents, Beds, Borders, Edging & Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
These hardy, low-maintenance daisies do best when grown in full sun, but can tolerate some afternoon shade (at the cost of the number of blooms), and grow best in well-drained soil. It's recommended to water Becky Daisy plants weekly when rainfall is less than an inch, but they will not tolerate excessive moisture or soggy soil in the winter.
Provide a good layer of mulch, at least 3-4 inches around the roots, especially in drier climates, and enrich the soil with plenty of humus and compost. Remove faded flower heads to encourage more blooms and prune the clumps back in late fall when the foliage yellows. Daisy clumps can be divided every few years to promote better growth and vigor.
- Best in Full Sun
- Moderate Regular Moisture & Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Dislikes Soggy Winter Soil
- Any Type of Well-Drained Organic Soil
- Deadhead For Rebloom & Prune Late Autumn
This low-maintenance perennial is great for first-time gardeners. Becky Daisy will easily add beauty and sunshine to any sunny spot in your garden! Place your order soon for the longest-lasting Daisy blooms around!

Nice, healthy plant. I purchased this one to replace one I lost over the summer. It's the only one blooming and it puts my others to shame.
Thank you for the lovely review! It's great to hear that your replacement came in blooming and already outpacing the others. Keep it watered well while it settles into its new spot.
Just arrived two weeks ago in very good condition and very healthy. Planted immediately after arrival and they are looking very good; one is ready to blossom. Have watered regularly. Just hoping they take root before this beautiful fall weather turns to winter.
Shasta Daisies are pretty adaptable, and getting one close to blooming just two weeks after planting is a great sign of how well they settled in. Keep up the consistent watering as the soil cools, and they should have enough time to establish good roots before the ground freezes. Thanks for the update, Andrew. We hope you get that first bloom before the season turns!
I’m very pleased with them. They are doing well. They were a nice size when I got them. So far they’re doing well.
Becky is such a reliable daisy, and it sounds like yours are off to a solid start. A good size at arrival really does make a difference in how quickly they settle in. With a little deadheading through the season, they should reward you with blooms well into fall. Thanks for sharing the update, Renee. The Nature Hills Team
Nice healthy plants right out of a very well packaged container.
Hi Ray! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Amazing Daisies® Daisy May® Shasta Daisy. We are delighted to hear that you're happy with your purchase and that the plants arrived in good condition. To keep your Daisy May healthy and thriving, we recommend deadheading the flowers regularly. This will encourage new blooms and promote a fuller, bushier plant. Thank you for choosing our product and happy gardening! -Nature Hills Customer Service
Awesome service. Survived shipment easily. Look fantastic. Glad I used your company.
Thank you for letting us know your ‘Becky’ Shasta Daisy arrived in such great shape and is already looking fantastic. These sun-loving perennials really shine when they get six or more hours of bright light, regular moisture while they root in, and a quick dead-heading after each flush of blooms to keep the flower show going. The University of Illinois Extension notes that well-drained soil is the key to long-lived daisies, so a light layer of compost each spring will keep your clump vigorous for many seasons. We’re thrilled you chose Nature Hills and can’t wait to hear how your daisy patch lights up the garden this summer.
Wishing you happy planting, The Nature Hills Plant Experts
Love my daisies! They bloom all summer and look great in a vase also!
Hi there! We're so glad to hear that you're loving your Becky Shasta Daisies! Excited to hear they're blooming all summer and adding beauty to your home. As a gardening tip, be sure to deadhead the spent blooms to encourage continuous blooming.
Happy gardening!
