Wayside Gardens Leucanthemum Real Snowball
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners wanting long-lasting, butterfly-friendly cut flowers.
These Shasta daisies trade the typical flat, daisy-like profile for dense, four-inch pompons that look more like peonies than wildflowers. They offer a high-impact, long-blooming structure for your borders, though you’ll need to commit to well-drained soil to keep those heavy, double-petaled heads from struggling.
