Marconi Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum 'Marconi') is a vigorous, free-flowering perennial that produces an abundance of large, brilliant white daisy blooms with rich golden-yellow centers from early summer well into late summer. Supported by sturdy, upright stems and attractive deep green foliage, Marconi offers outstanding garden performance, excellent weather resistance, and exceptional cut flower quality. Its classic daisy appearance and dependable flowering make it a favorite for cottage gardens, perennial borders, and pollinator landscapes.
Garden Uses:
Marconi Shasta Daisy is an excellent choice for perennial borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, pollinator gardens, foundation plantings, and mixed flower beds. Its tall stems add vertical interest while the crisp white flowers brighten the landscape throughout the summer. It pairs beautifully with purple coneflowers, salvias, delphiniums, phlox, yarrow, coreopsis, Russian sage, and ornamental grasses.
Growing Information:
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds onto the surface of the growing medium, as light promotes germination. Germination generally occurs within 10-20 days at temperatures between 65-70°F. Plants thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and during extended dry periods. Removing faded blooms encourages repeat flowering, while dividing mature clumps every 3-4 years helps maintain vigorous growth and heavy flowering.
