Notes
'Macaroon' Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum 'Macaroon') is a perennial for borders and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. White flowers with gold centers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Blue flag, and Buffalo grass.
