Join the butterflies in enjoying giant white flowers all summer long when you grow Becky Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum Becky). The 2003 Perennial Plant of the Year, this daisy is tough and hardy, growing as a perennial in zones 4 through 8. The pretty white petals on the flowers reach up to 5 inches around, dotted with a classic daisy yellow center. Since they can grow 3 to 4 feet tall, shasta daisies are great as back borders to garden beds and to add pretty white shades before dark fences and structures.

Becky Shasta Daisy will spread to about 2 to 3 feet wide at the base and is covered with deep green leaves to about a foot high. Cut the flowers to add height and white to indoor flower arrangements or leave them on the plant to thrill pollinators. This perennial is easy to grow, stunning in mass plantings, and both deer and rabbit resistant. It’s also a low-water favorite in drought-prone gardens.

Becky Shasta Daisy Care

Plant Becky in full sun (at least 6 hours a day) for best daisy production. If you live on the hot side of its hardiness zones (zone 8 or even 9), be sure to give the plant some afternoon shade. Any average soil will work, as long as it has good drainage. If you choose to plant it in a container, be sure the soil is loose and the pot has adequate drain holes. Give your plant average, consistent watering in its first year, but avoid letting the soil become soggy. 

With simple deadheading (removing faded blooms), you can have blooms from midsummer through early fall on Becky Shasta Daisy. In fall, cut flower stems back to a few inches above the ground once the foliage has yellowed. Prune the plant in spring to about 6 inches above the ground. Add a layer of organic compost around the root zone each spring and fertilize lightly. Fertilize once again in early summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. 

Becky Shasta Daisy Spacing

Shasta daisies might reseed and need division, so take care to plant them far enough apart to avoid overcrowding. Typically, nearly 3 feet apart will suffice.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
