Alaska Shasta Daisy

Alaska Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum 'Alaska') is the classic, quintessential Shasta Daisy — a vigorous, free-flowering perennial producing an extraordinary abundance of large, pristine white daisy flowers with bright golden-yellow centers atop strong, upright stems that are perfectly suited for both garden display and fresh-cut flower arrangements. Regarded as one of the most reliable and widely grown Shasta Daisy cultivars available, Alaska delivers consistently large, well-formed flowers, exceptional garden performance, and outstanding longevity as a cut flower — making it an enduring favorite in cottage gardens, mixed perennial borders, pollinator plantings, and cutting gardens throughout North America.

Grown from certified organic heritage stock, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system — dense, fibrous, and fully established for vigorous first-season flowering. Alaska thrives in full sun to light shade with consistent moisture and well-drained soil, performing reliably across a wide range of climates with minimal maintenance. Its strong, upright clumping habit, prolific bloom production, and classic white-and-gold flower color make it an invaluable anchor plant in mixed perennial borders where it combines beautifully with blue salvias, purple coneflowers, ornamental grasses, and warm-toned summer perennials for a long season of cottage garden charm.

• Classic Large White & Gold Blooms — Pristine white daisy petals surrounding bright golden-yellow centers produce the timeless, classic Shasta Daisy flower that remains one of the most beloved and recognized perennial blooms in the garden.
• Prolific Long-Blooming Perennial — Produces an extraordinary abundance of large, well-formed flowers over an extended bloom season from early summer through late summer, returning reliably year after year with increasing vigor.
• Outstanding Cut Flower — Long, strong upright stems and large, perfectly formed flowers make Alaska one of the most versatile and long-lasting fresh-cut flower varieties for home bouquets and floral arrangements.
• Excellent Pollinator Value — Golden-centered white daisy flowers are a valuable nectar and pollen source for native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects throughout the extended summer bloom season.
• Versatile Border & Garden Performer — Classic upright clumping habit integrates beautifully into mixed perennial borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, meadow plantings, and pollinator habitats across a wide range of landscape styles.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to light shade with consistent moisture and well-drained soil — water regularly until established and apply a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous bloom production. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, growing 24–36" tall with a spread of 18–24". Large white daisy flowers with golden centers bloom from early to late summer (June–August); deadhead spent flowers regularly to extend the bloom season and prevent excessive self-seeding throughout the garden.
