Leucanthemum x superbum 'Becky'
Shasta Daisy
Leucanthemum 'Becky' is a very tall selection that exhibits excellent tolerance to summer heat and humidity. This Shasta daisy cultivar is larger than most others, growing 3-4 feet tall on rigid stems which do not require staking. A must for the sun garden, the classic white rays with yellow center disks brighten and complement other perennials. 'Becky' has a long bloom period of July through September and makes an excellent and long-lasting fresh cut flower. Attracts butterflies!
