Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Leucanthemum Shasta Daisy Lucille White is straightforward, ensuring a beautiful display year after year. These hardy perennials are resilient and forgiving, making them a favorite among gardeners.

Sunlight Requirements: Shasta Daisies thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce the most abundant blooms. While they can tolerate light afternoon shade in very hot climates, consistent full sun is preferred for optimal growth and flowering. Ensure your planting location receives ample sunlight throughout the day.

Watering Schedule: For young plugs, keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Once your perennial daisy plant is established, it becomes more drought-tolerant. Water deeply when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues on the foliage; instead, water at the base of the plant. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Soil Type and Drainage: This plant prefers well-draining soil that is slightly rich in organic matter. An ideal soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0. Avoid heavy, compacted clay soils, which can retain too much moisture and lead to problems. Amending heavy soils with compost or sand can improve drainage significantly. A well-draining environment is key for a healthy easy care daisy.

Temperature & Climate: The Leucanthemum Shasta Daisy Lucille White is cold hardy, typically thriving in USDA Zones 4–9. It is also heat tolerant but performs best in moderate temperatures. Providing a layer of mulch can help regulate soil temperature and moisture, especially during extreme weather conditions. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage more flowering throughout the season.
