shasta daisy

Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum BANANA CREAM) should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. It's best to water in the early morning or late afternoon, and to avoid wetting the foliage. Water deeply enough to reach the roots, and avoid wetting the leaves. Aim for 1 to 2 inches of water per week. In hotter weather you may need to water more often to keep the soil consistently moist.

The Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum superbum Banana Cream) requires a full sun location, meaning 6 to 8 hours of direct sunshine per day. It also does best in a spot where it will receive morning sun and be shaded from the hot afternoon sun. Planting near a wall can help reflect light onto the Shasta Daisy throughout the day. During cooler months, the Shasta Daisy will appreciate the winter sun in a south- or west-facing position. In very hot climates, try to select a spot that will provide some light afternoon shade.

Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum superbum BANANA CREAM) should be pruned in late winter or early spring, when the plant has gone dormant. Start by removing any dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Then, cut back any stems that have grown taller than 15-18 inches. This will help to encourage fuller growth throughout the season. If your Shasta Daisy flowers heavily, then it may need to be pruned back more heavily. This can be done by cutting the top of the stem, approximately 6-8 inches from the ground. Additionally, trim back any stems which have become woody or leggy, as this will help the plant to regenerate new growth during the season.
