(Common Name: Shasta Daisy). Introduced from the USA at the turn the 20th Century these familiar white (or pale yellow) daisies come in a range of heights, as single or fully double flowers, and with simple petals or frilly, feather-like structures. All can be relied on to flower in flushes from June through September - most will re-bloom happily if cut back after each flush. Propagate by division in spring. There are no major problems to avoid - slugs can be nuisance on small plants, blackfly may appear in mid summer and if black spots appear on the leaves either ignore or use a systemic fungicide. The varieties we sell grow to 60-90cm in height. All prefer a sunny spot and some moisture in summer. Feed well in spring. An excellent article on these plants can be found in the RHS Journal "The Garden" Vol 127, Part 7 July 2002 pp518-521.
