Leucanthemum x superbum Becky

Becky Shasta Daisy

A large-flowered daisy variety with bright white petals and a golden yellow centre. With its long and abundant flowering period from late spring through autumn, it brings a bright and cheerful touch to any garden. This vigorous daisy is perfect for beds, borders or gardens. Its bushy shape and long-lasting blooms make it an excellent choice for perennial gardens. It is drought tolerant once established, but regular watering is recommended during the active growing season. Fertilise in spring with a balanced fertiliser to encourage abundant flowering. This plant is also tolerant of less fertile soils and can adapt to a variety of garden types. It is advisable to cut back dead stems in late autumn or early spring to encourage new growth. A light pruning after flowering will keep the plant in good shape and encourage continued flowering. If necessary, divide the plant every 2 to 3 years to prevent weakening and improve its vigor.
