Shasta Daisy
Leucanthemum 'White Mountain'
(lew-KANTH-ih-mum)
Synonym: Chrysanthemum x
superbum, Chrysanthemum maximum
This little daisy was
introduced in 2011 and I was happy to have scored a couple in the spring. The
plant had a lot of flowers and the foliage stayed relatively clean. Growing to a
height of 12 inches tall is a definite plus as far as Shasta Daisies go. I
usually don’t stake Shastas but heavy rain/wind can snap the stems if it comes at
the right time. The Honeybee was just a bonus and it was nice to see as we don’t
seem to get as many Honeybees as we used to.
We had another nuisance
snowstorm yesterday. It really couldn’t decide if it was a rain or snowstorm.
It did manage to yield about 2-3 inches of wet, heavy snow and a little ice but
I definitely put in the category of a missed bullet. Some areas to the north
got a lot more snow.
