The botanically named Leucanthemum 'Macaroon' produces flower power in spades. Better known as the Macaroon Shasta Daisy, it displays double rows of stunning white petals around a yellow center, which contrast strongly against its dark green foliage. This compact, mound-forming variety might be small but certainly doesn’t lack any visual impact. With its open flowers, it is loved by pollinators and a great source of cut flowers.
Shasta daisies have long been a firm favorite with gardeners and for good reason. Being perfectly matched to the front of a border or a container, this Macaroon Shasta Daisy is wonderfully versatile. It is suitable for growing in zones 5 to 9 and is thankfully deer resistant, making it perfect for rural landscaping. As a drought-tolerant perennial, this plant is easy to grow and care for.
Macaroon Shasta Daisy Care
For the best flowers, this Macaroon Shasta Daisy should be grown in full sun. A free-draining soil is key, as Shasta doesn’t tolerate overly wet soil. Unless grown in very poor soil, any extra fertilizing isn’t usually necessary and may actually inhibit flower production. Once established, watering is generally only required during hot and dry periods.
Deadheading this plant is not strictly required but can help neaten its appearance and promote future blooms. Once the foliage has died back after the first frost, its stems can be cut down to 2-3 inches above the soil. In colder areas, any container-grown plants can be placed under cover to ride out the worst of the weather and low temperatures.
Macaroon Shasta Daisy Spacing
In the right conditions, the Macaroon Shasta Daisy can reach 12-14 inches high by 18-24 inches wide. When planting en masse for maximum impact, ‘Macaroon’ can be spaced at a distance of around 18 to 24 inches.

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.

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.

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.
