Flower of the Day - Shasta Daisy Ice Star




Today's flower of the day is Shasta Daisy Ice Star. Doesn't this daisy look just like a frilly coneflower? A double daisy, this beauty blooms July through September. It is perfect for cut flowers and never needs deadheading. It blooms best in full sun in lucky zones 4-8.

Happy gardening!

    I bought this daisy when I was shopping for a "regular" Shasta daisy. I was surprised to see this truly mum-like daisy appear this spring. I am glad to know its real name now, "Shasta Daisy Ice Flower".

    I am well into Zone 9, and this flower has been blooming well since about the 3rd week of April.
