Dutch breeding company Florensis introduced a lovely Ooh La™ series of compact Shasta daisies, recognizable by the first syllable La in variety name: LaGrande, LaCrosse, LaCréme, and LaSpider. They all offer compact plants with profuse flowering.
Description of the plant:
LA GRANDE is a large-flowered Shasta daisy with single, 6-8 cm wide flowers. They look immensely cheerful and pure with their bright yellow discs and show-white ray florets. Individual flowers excel in longevity (up to 4 weeks) and commonly appear from about mid July, and while the tops bloom new buds are formed down the stems. Deadheading and feeding will encourage second flush of flowers in late summer and early autumn. Leaves are deep green and glossy, narrowly lance-shaped, distinctively serrated. The plant makes a dense, compact clump 20-30 cm tall. Patent No. PP29736 was granted in 2018.Shasta daisy is widely soil adaptable provided the soil is evenly moist but well-drained. Just make sure the crown of plant is just above the soil level, never deeper. For best results we recommend growing it in humus-rich soil where the number of flowers and overall plant appearance will be better. It is commonly disease resistant but slugs become a problem when they find it since they love it - both flowers and foliage. Make sure they stay away from this beauty, otherwise they can eat the entire plant leaving bare stems in the bed. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
