Pet safety guideAbout Shasta Daisy
Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum) is a cheerful flowering perennial with classic white ray petals surrounding a yellow center disc, beloved by pollinators. In Northeast Florida, it performs best as a cool-season plant: set out in fall for winter and spring bloom, as the combination of intense summer heat and humidity shortens its perennial lifespan — select heat-tolerant cultivars such as 'Snowcap' for best results.

Care essentials
Shasta daisy requires full sun (minimum 6 hours daily); in Northeast Florida's peak summer heat, light afternoon shade improves performance and longevity — though best results come from treating it as a cool-season plant.
Water moderately and consistently; allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Excellent drainage is essential — Florida's summer rains and humidity can cause root rot. Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering.
Plant in well-drained, loamy or sandy soil amended with compost. Fertilize at planting with a balanced slow-release fertilizer; avoid high-nitrogen formulas that promote foliage at the expense of flowers. In NE Florida, plant in fall for a winter-to-spring display.
