Becky Shasta Daisy - Buy at Nature Hills
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 into early fall and increase the number of blooms! The bright yellow disks in the center are pollinator landing pads as each strong, slender stem reaches up towards the sky. Compared to classic Shasta Daisies, Becky maintains larger flowers, with wider petals, atop stronger stems that won’t require staking. The dense clumps of deep green leaves are only about 2 feet wide, making them ideal for any-sized garden application!
