    Details

    Botanical name: Leucanthemum x superbum 'Coconut'
    Common name: Shasta daisy
    Zone: 5 - 9
    Sun exposure: Sun (> 6 hours sun)
    Height x width: 20" x 26"
    Flower color: White
    Foliage color: Green
    Season of interest: Summer
    Uses: Accent, alpine and rock, borders, container gardening, cottage gardening, ground cover, massing, naturalizing

    How to Grow

    Soil: Average, dry to medium, well-draining soils. Good soil drainage is essential. Wet soils in winter can be fatal.
    Light: Does well in full sun (> 6 hours sun). Tolerates some light shade, particularly in hot summer climates or when plants are grown in dry soils.
    Water: Dry to medium - water regularly until established.
    Spacing: 36 inches
    Fertilizing: Fertilizer can be applied in spring if desired, but it usually isn't necessary.
    Winterizing: No special care is needed. May leave spent blooms on plants over winter to reseed and provide interest to birds in the winter garden. Clean up spent foliage in early spring as plants emerge.
    Maintenance & pruning: Remove spent flower heads, and trim back stems to about 12" after flowering to encourage reblooming. Center of clumps will weaken, so divide clumps as needed (every 2-3 years) to maintain vigor.

    Questions Answered Series: Shasta Daisy

    These superstar perennials feature long-lasting blooms, attract pollinators, and look amazing in cut-flower arrangements. Here, we’ll answer all your frequently asked questions about growing and caring for Shasta daisies!

    Grow With Confidence

    Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

    bush distance

    Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

    Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.

    Bloomed the first year

    These daisies have done fabulous since they arrived. We had many blooms the first year and we are looking forward to our third year with great anticipation. Thankfully, the deer have left them alone! We were so pleased with the way they were shipped that we just ordered more items. We will definitely use this nursery for future purchases.

    Bought three of these and planted a few weeks ago. Full Sun all day in dallas TX. The leaves droop and wilt by the end of the day. They have plenty of water. Do I need to move them to. Shadier spot?

    Great Garden Plants

    Hi there! Your shasta daisies may be struggling with the particularly strong Texas sun, especially if they were recently planted and haven't had a chance to fully establish. These daisies can tolerate some light shade, particularly in hot summer climates or when plants are being grown in dry soils. Considering this, providing some afternoon shade could help alleviate the stress on your plants. Keep an eye on soil moisture as well; while they have plenty of water, it's also important to ensure that the soil is well-draining and they are not sitting in excess water, which can also cause wilting.

    My Coconut Shasta Daisy did not bloom this year, it's first year.

    Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously.
