Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum)

Sunlight:

Full Sun

Soil Type:

Dry
Well-Drained

Sun: at least 6 hours of sun per day to thrive, which is considered full sun. While they can tolerate partial shade, they will produce more blooms in full sun. In very hot climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to help the flowers last longer.

Soil: thrives in well-draining, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (around 6.0 to 8.0)

Height: typically ranges from 1 to 4ft tall, but the specific height varies significantly by cultivar, with some reaching only 1 to 2 feet and others growing up to 3 or 4 feet.

Spread: spread by forming dense clumps and sending out underground rhizomes, with a typical mature size of 1 to 2 feet wide.

They spread moderately and gradually, making them easy to manage by dividing the clumps every couple of years to control their size or to propagate new plants.
