Becky daisy is larger than most other Shasta cultivars, growing 3 to 4 feet tall on rigid stems which do not require staking. Flowers are 3 to 4 inches across, with the classic white rays and yellow centers, and coarsely-toothed, lance-shaped, medium green leaves. Stems do not require staking. Long bloom period of July through September. Excellent and long-lasting fresh cut flower. Not a low-water perennial, but certainly a fine addition to a perennial border that receives regular watering. Grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Easily grown in average, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade. Remove spent flower heads to promote additional bloom. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigor (see Guides for how-tos). Best form if watered with a drip system as over-head watering can reduce life of blooms and cause the plant to flop over.
