SPECIAL QUALITIES

Shasta daisies are one of the favourites of Australian gardeners. Like their close relatives the Marguerite daisies, they are long flowering and easy to grow.

The large white daisy tlowers have yellow centres and appear summer to autumn in cool climates.

POSITION & USES

CULTIVATION

After flowering finishes cut the bush back 30-40% and fertilise.

FERTILISING

Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed will keep it looking its best.
