  • Description / Leucanthemum Realflor® 'Real Solar' Shasta Daisy

    Leucanthemum Realflor® 'Real Solar' is a petite perennial plant that grows to about 16 inches tall and 14 inches wide. A floriferous, early to midsummer bloomer with a repeat fall bloom, this garden star sets large—3-inch—banana yellow blooms with 3 layers of fancy frilled rays surrounding a golden center. Borne on very strong stems covered in small, elegant, mid-green leaves, the long-lasting blooms phase through soft cream colors as they age and attract pollinators to the garden, including butterflies. These fabulous flowers are great for picking.

    A Leucanthemum superbum cultivar, commonly called Shasta daisy, 'Real Solar' has a compact, mounded habit that is wind resistant and needs no staking. Old-fashioned favorites, popular for over a century, Shasta daisies fit beautifully in modern landscapes. Mass this cosmic cutie in garden beds and borders or use in containers and patio pots.

    A hardy, easy-grow, easy-care plant, 'Real Solar' Shasta daisy grows best in a sunny spot with average, dry to medium, freely draining soil. 'Real Solar' has improved disease resistance and is drought tolerant once established. Fertilize in spring and trim back after summer bloom to encourage new growth and a repeat fall bloom.

    Shasta daisy flowers have a long bloom season. The white petals of some leucanthemum plants are famously named Shasta Daisy after California's snowy Mount Shasta. Learn how to care for these perennial beauties as part of your Chemical Free Garden in our Organic Care for Shasta Daisies Guide.
