Banana Cream II offers the characteristics of a Shasta Daisy with a little more color. Lemon yellow flowers buds emerge in the late spring and flower a light custard yellow. As the flowers age through summer they create a two tone effect and eventually brighten to a light white. Shasta daisies are excellent plants for the border of a perennial garden. Pop them into areas and they will serve to highlight whatever color you have there. Plant them in mass and you will create a blanket of color that is a true sight to behold. These small perennials also thrive in containers and can be moved around to suit the occasion. They are easy to care for and will spread into massive banks for flowers if given time.

Leucanthemum 'Banana Cream II' - Shasta Daisy
Leucanthemum require full sun to be at their best, so planting in a site that receives full 6+ hours of sun each day is essential. Winter drainage is essential and cutting back the flower heads and foliage in the winter can promote air flow and improve wet conditions, but we roots will kill Shasta Daisies, so if you experience wet winter conditions raised beds or containers are recommended.
