Leucanthemum Ooh La™ 'LACROSSE WIT' Shasta daisy
Leucanthemum
Dutch breeding company Florensis introduced a lovely Ooh La™ series of compact Shasta daisies, recognizable by the first syllable La in variety name: LaGrande, LaCross, LaCréme, and LaSpider. The all offer compact plants with profuse flowering.LaCrosse Wit is an improved version of LaCrosse Shasta daisy making eye-catching flowers with tubular petals, open at the tips into a trumpet. They are snow white and produced around a large, yellow cone in the centre. Flowers appear possibly earliest of all series i.e. already in late June and bloom for 5-6 weeks. After a short break re-bloom to decorate your gardens and patios for late summer and early autumn. Leaves are deep green and glossy, narrowly lance-shaped, distinctively serrated. The plant makes a dense, compact clump about 20 cm tall, or 30 cm tall with flowers.
Shasta daisy is widely soil adaptable provided the soil is evenly moist but well-drained. Just make sure the crown of plant is just above the soil level, never deeper. For best results we recommend growing it in humus-rich soil where the number of flowers and overall plant appearance will be better. It is commonly disease resistant but slugs become a problem when they find it since they love it - both flowers and foliage. Make sure they stay away from this beauty, otherwise they can eat the entire plant leaving bare stems in the bed. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4). They dislike growing in a pot.
