Ten types of daisies to add to your perennial garden

Shasta Daisy

Most Shasta daisies are perennials in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 5 through 9. The flowers, with white petals and a yellow center, have the classic daisy look.

One of the most common varieties is ‘Becky‘ (Leucanthemum x superbum ‘Becky’), which grows two to three feet tall with a big flush of blooms in early summer. Put it in full sun and deadhead spent blooms, and you’ll enjoy daisies all through the summer.

Another Shasta daisy variety is ‘Alaska,’ hardy in USDA Zones 4 through 9. Grow it from seeds and it will bloom the second year after planting.
