The charming good looks of the Shasta Daisy make this beauty a summertime favorite. The White Shasta Daisy Collection includes a Leucanthemum 'White Mountain,' 'Whisker White,' and 'Carpet Angel.' These three plants are stunning on their own but work together to create a gorgeous ensemble in a landscape. The White Mountain has overlapping petals with rounded tips. The petals surround a large, sunny, yellow center. If the White Mountain is a timeless classic with a traditional look, the Whisker White is more abstract. The Whisker White Shasta Daisy has thin petals that gently bend or curl and look feathery. The Carpet Angel Shasta Daisy has long outer petals that extend back, exposing the short inner petals with a curled or ruffled look. All of the cultivars have pure white flowers offset by dark green foliage.

The White Shasta Daisy Collection adds a cottage or meadow vibe to a landscape. The White Mountain and Whisker White Shasta Daisies look lovely toward the middle or back of a mixed bed. The low profile of the Carpet Angel Shasta Daisy makes it better suited to the front of a bed. Plant these cultivars together for a cohesive look, or feature them in different beds and containers throughout a landscape. Trim the stems to include the flowers in arrangements. 

White Shasta Daisy Collection Care

Shasta Daisies need full to partial sunlight, and 4 to 6 hours of direct light is best. Plant in rich, moist, well-drained soil that is acidic to neutral. Give established plants about one inch of water every week. Increase water during a dry period or when plants are grown in containers. Fertilize in the spring and early summer.

Remove leggy growth to keep the plants looking tidy and bushy. Prune no more than one-third of the growth at once. Trim all growth to ground level after the first heavy frost or by early spring.

White Shasta Daisy Collection Spacing

The Leucanthemum 'White Mountain’ and ‘Whisker White’ stand 32 inches tall and 18 inches wide. The Leucanthemum superbum 'Carpet Angel’ stands 4 to 6 inches tall and 18 to 20 inches wide. Space plants 18 to 20 inches apart to create a dense planting.
