Shasta Daisy

Something about Shasta daisy makes it a must-have perennial. It might be the simple elegance of the flowers. It may be its inherent cheerfulness. (Doesn’t that sweep of ‘Cream Puff’ at left make you smile?) It may be the way it complements other plants and makes long-lasting additions to bouquets.

But there are so many other benefits beyond its beauty: It’s a fabulous choice for pollinator gardens. Bees and a variety of other beneficial insects love visiting the landing-pad-shape blooms. Its propensity for attracting good bugs also makes Shasta daisy valuable in the vegetable garden. This hardy perennial is also easy to grow in a wide swath of the country. Once
