Shasta Daisy
Leucanthemum x superbum
(lew-KANTH-ih-mum)
(soo-PER-bum)
In honor of splitting up a
huge patch of Shasta Daises yesterday here is a photo I grabbed. It isn’t the
best time to divide them but the owner had grown a little weary of just having
daisies in that area. After making hundreds of smaller ones and planting them
there was still a pile left over that went on the scrap heap. We added some
nice Strawberry Foxglove (Digitalis x mentorensis) and some Eastern Bluestar (Amsonia
tabernaemontana) and it looked nice and more like a perennial border. We also
tore apart a big planting of Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides), which
isn’t really a good plant to have and we added some Garden Phlox and Foxglove
to that area. It was nice to do some just plain gardening work and it really
kicked up the perennial area.
