Becky Shasta Daisy was chosen as the Perennial Plant of the Year in 2003. It received this honor because of its hardiness, disease resistance, dependability and long season of bloom. Plants attract butterflies and are great for garden bouquets. Plant with Russian Sage (Perovskia) or Pincushion Flower (Scabiosa) for companion plants. Removing spent flowers will extend bloom time. Plants are available in 1-gallon pots.
