Chrysanthemum White

Chrysanthemum White is a long time favourite with clump forming perennial features, large white daisy flowers and bright green to deep green foliage. The sturdy stems and long vase life makes this an excellent plant for cut flowers. They flower for the entire summer season through autumn. They are also known as Shasta Daisies.

A low maintenance plant that is drought tolerant once established, and is perfect for filling in bare spots in the garden. Prefers a sunny position in a moist well drained soil. May be necessary to stake taller plants in more exposed situations.

Once planted, care is minimal. Care includes deadheading the flowers occasionally to encourage heavier blooms and a more abundant show. Cut flowers of the are also long-lasting and will encourage more profuse blooming on plants remaining in the ground. New leaves soon appear to produce another show of white daisy blooms in early summer.

Good drainage is important for the performance, whilst they will take light shade, as opposed to a full sun location, the plants won’t tolerate soggy roots or standing water.

Continue planting yearly for a more abundant display. They are short-lived perennials, meaning they return for just a few years. Staggered yearly plantings ensure that your plants will continue to colonize and grace the landscape.
