Leucanthemum x superbum 'Snowcap'
Shasta Daisy 'Snowcap'
Shasta Daisies are large yellow-centered flowers, up to an inch and a half, that appear on the end of long stems with dark green foliage. They flower throughout the Summer and make for long lasting cut flowers. 'Snow Cap' bears masses of single white flowers, each with a yellow centre. Excellent for cutting. Also great for edging, or in mixed containers. Removing faded flowers will greatly increase the blooming time. Divide plants in the spring every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigour.

Flowering Season
From Early Spring TO Late Autumn
The yellow-centered, pure-white blooms create a cheerful statement both in the garden and cut for bouquets. Daisy-like flowers up to 1.5 inch across appear from early spring to late autumn.
Planting
From Late Autumn TO Early Spring
Plant in late autumn or early spring in well drained, gritty soil in a sunny position. If the soil is too rich, the plant will lose its compact habit.
Propagating by division
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Propagate by division in early Spring or late Summer once the plant has finished blooming. Using a fork dig up plant, trying to keep the root ball as complete as possible. Split the root ball at the centre with a sharp knife or a spade, or by placing two garden forks back-to-back into the middle of the root ball, and pushing the fork handles apart.to lever the root ball apart. Replant the new clumps to the same depth as the original, and water well. Keep well watered until established.
