Leucanthemum × superbum, the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, but larger. Shasta daisies are old-fashioned favorites for perennial borders and cut flowers, with single and double-flowered cultivars available. This plant is occasionally damaged by deer.
Plant in average to dry well-drained garden soil in full sun to partial shade. Use in the perennial border, containers, cutting garden or cottage garden.
Cultivars come in different sizes and flower forms.
Previously this plant had the genus name Chrysanthemum.
