Overview of Banana Cream II Shasta Daisy

The Banana Cream II Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum) is a refined perennial cultivar selected for its distinct color progression and structural integrity. This plant produces substantial, daisy-like flowers that emerge in a rich, buttery yellow hue before transitioning to a creamy white as they mature. The contrast between the yellow buds and the maturing petals creates a multi-tonal effect within the garden landscape.

Enhanced Structural Performance

Designed to address common issues found in traditional daisy varieties, this cultivar features reinforced stems that support the weight of the large flower heads. This structural improvement helps the plant maintain an upright, tidy appearance, reducing the need for staking or support in standard garden conditions. The foliage remains dense and dark green, providing a stable backdrop for the vibrant blooms.

Growth and Maintenance Requirements

Bloom Time: Mid-summer through early autumn, with consistent deadheading to encourage repeat flowering.
Sun Exposure: Thrives in full sun conditions, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal bloom production.
Soil Preference: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions to maintain root health.
Hardiness: Adapted to USDA zones 5 through 9, demonstrating resilience in a variety of temperate climates.
Habit: Compact, clumping growth habit, suitable for borders, containers, or mass planting arrangements.
