Shasta Crazy Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum 'Crazy Daisy') is a spectacular perennial that transforms the classic Shasta Daisy into a showpiece with its fully double, frilly white blooms surrounding bright golden centers. Each flower features beautifully twisted and ruffled petals, giving the blossoms a delightfully shaggy appearance unlike any ordinary daisy. Blooming from early summer through midsummer, Crazy Daisy brings elegance, texture, and long-lasting beauty to perennial borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens while attracting a wide variety of beneficial pollinators.
Garden Uses:
Shasta Crazy Daisy is perfect for perennial borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, pollinator gardens, foundation plantings, and mixed flower beds. Its unusual double blooms create an eye-catching focal point and blend beautifully with coneflowers, salvias, phlox, delphiniums, lavender, yarrow, ornamental grasses, and other summer-flowering perennials. The sturdy stems also produce excellent long-lasting cut flowers.
Growing Information:
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as light improves germination. Germination generally occurs within 10-20 days at temperatures between 65-70°F. Plants thrive in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering during extended dry periods. Remove faded blooms to encourage additional flowering and divide mature clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and abundant blooming.
