Broadway Lights™

Shasta Daisy

Leucanthemum

A big show off. That’s me. I put on a performance that lasts from summer through fall without a single intermission. For my opening act, I rapidly grow 18-24 inches tall and form a tight mound of upright stems. Next, an entire troupe of flower buds appears as if by magic. One by one they gradually open to reveal a circle of pale butter yellow petals, inside of which is a big, bright golden center. Like in one of those old movie musicals. Then, in the light of full sun to part shade, my petals gradually begin to change colors. Butter yellow turns vanilla, and for the finale, the petals turn pure, glowing white. The timing is different for every flower. Instead of a boring, single color Shasta daisy production, Broadway Lights is a three-act hit.

From garden bed to container combination or patio pot solo, I’m a true garden trooper. You don’t have to pamper me with extra water or deadheading for me to look my best. It takes real talent to make it as a Perennial favorite in zones 5- 11, you know.
