Carpet Angel Daisy, Leucanthemum, boasts of being the world’s first and only perennial ground cover daisy. It amazingly grows only 6-8″ tall yet spreads 20″ wide! Huge 3″ unique, one-of-a-kind pure white flowers add to its considerable appeal. The fascinating blooms sit tightly on the foliage. Carpet Angel Daisy shows off incredible basal branching, producing hordes of flowers in summer. Its prostrate habit creates a carpet appearance. A truly breeding breakthrough and revolutionary selection!
Its delightful flowers are long-lasting in the garden and the vase. Don’t be surprised when you see beautiful butterflies and colorful moths visiting these treasures. Carpet Angel Daisy blends beautifully with other perennials in containers, borders, mass plantings, cottage, cutting, and pollinator gardens. It makes an ideal choice to replace annuals in beds and large plantings or anywhere you don’t want to plant year after year. Deer and rabbit resistant.
Shasta Daisies are easy to grow in average soil and full sun to part shade. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Shasta Daisies require good drainage. Shasta Daisies should be divided every two to three years. Discard declining, old growth. All American Selections winner.
