Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Alaska' is a daisy cultivar selected for its tall rigid stems that generally do not require staking, and its large, single-petaled, pure white rays and golden yellow eyes. Flowers bloom mid to late summer, and seem to be meant for vases. Leaves are a deep green, long, narrow and toothed. The plant grows as an upright mound, to about 18 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Well suited to perennial or mixed borders, cottage or cutting gardens.
