Daisy

Leucanthemum x superbum, L. x vulagre

Category: Flowers

An old-fashioned favorite for cutting, pollinator, and perennial gardens! Shasta Daisies come in many cultivars with single and double flowers, and white and yellow blooms. Oxeye Daisies are wild growers, considered a weed or invasive by some, but can be used in a garden and for cut flowers. There are many other species known as daisies (such as Montauk Daisy 'Nipponanthemum nipponicum,' Marguerite Daisy 'Argyranthemum foeniculaceum,' and Gerbera Daisy 'Gerbera jamesonii'), so it is easy to get confused about daisies!
