Leucanthemum Crazy Daisy, commonly known as Shasta Daisy, is a charming perennial that produces frilly, double white flowers with bright yellow centres. The unique, ruffled petals of the 6.5 cm wide flowers add texture and character to garden displays throughout summer.
Perfect for planting in clusters or as a striking addition to borders, this daisy brings a cheerful presence to cottage, meadow, or informal garden styles. It thrives in a sunny position with well-drained soil, requiring little maintenance once established.
Growing to around 60 cm in height, Leucanthemum Crazy Daisy forms a tidy clump that adds height and lively interest to garden beds or as a vibrant cut flower for arrangements.
Trimming: Cut back spent flower stems after flowering to encourage additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. In late autumn or early spring, trim back dead foliage to ground level.
Deadheading: Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong the flowering season and redirect energy into growth.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support robust growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilising, as it can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
Watering: Water deeply during dry spells, particularly in the establishment phase. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids and slugs, which may damage the foliage. Use insecticidal soap for aphids and slug pellets or traps for slug management.
Disease Management: Monitor for signs of powdery mildew, such as white, powdery patches on the leaves. Improve air circulation around the plant and treat with a fungicide if necessary.
