Notes
'Polaris' Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum 'Polaris') is a perennial with white petals around a yellow center disk. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms from early to late summer. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The plant is drought tolerant, so it handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Blue grama, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
