Notes
'Snowcap' Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum 'Snowcap') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It blooms with white petals around a yellow center from early to late summer and again in early autumn. Butterflies visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Lupine, Hummingbird's mint, and Kentucky bluegrass.
