Brilliant white daisy and beautiful cut flower and edible greens.  After 17 years of development, the Shasta Daisy was released by American horticulturist Luther Burbank in 1890. Beautiful ground cover plant. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Formerly classified as Chrysanthemum maximum. These daisies were transferred to their own genus of Leucanthemum because they lack some traits of true Chrysanthemum species. Perennial plants compete well in a grassy meadow once established. Tags: Harvest: June to August, Color: White, Specialty: Deer Resistant, Heritage: Heirloom, Certification: Organic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed Leucanthemum vulgare with Leucanthemum maximum; this double hybrid was itself crossed with Leucanthemum lacustre.The resulting Leucanthemum triple hybrid was crossed with Nipponanthemum nipponicum, creating an intergeneric cross of species from three continents. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta daisy remains a favorite garden plant and groundcover.##Restoration Seeds##Certified Organic by OR Dept. of Ag.##Seed grower since 2009##\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/files\/DSC01082_210x165.jpg?1410551201354068541##Restoration Seeds is a farm-based seed company committed to selling seeds growers can save.
