good old shastas
Comments (25)tasymo, the picture I posted is from today - I just ran out and took it right before posting it. I saw this thread about Shasta's and saw that I could add something! I bought some Crazy Daisy this year. I had a piece that a friend gave me last summer, but it never seemed to settle in right. I only had couple of blooms. When I looked for it to come back this spring, I found the space where it had been, and when digging there, I found that the plant had rotted away. We have lots of clay in our soil, but I had dug it a nice hole and replaced the soil with amended soil. I planted the new plant at the other side of the house, where it will get full sun all day long. The other plant had afternoon sun. I hope I can keep this CD going.

Comments (11)northerner_on - I decided to Google White Knight and see what else I could find and you're right that Dave's data is incorrect. I found Estabrook's (southern Maine) website. They sell an extensive selection of Shasta daisy cultivars, including White Knight and Snow Lady. Their website shows WK growing 18-22." I sure wish they shipped outside of Maine--they've got 'Esther Reed' which I tried to get seeds of via a trade but was disappointed the person I was trading with posted them for trade but didn't follow through and send them to me. I bought 'Banana Cream' last year on a half-price perennial sale and will have those seeds available for trade this fall. Perhaps the two of us can arrange a trade. Good luck and be sure to post your results growing the White Knight from seed....See MoreNEW! Daisy Daisy Daisy Swap!
Comments (6)~lurking~ Would this be for seeds or plants? I have terrible luck with bare root plants. I've killed everyone I've ever gotten! I wouldn't have much to trade as far as plants. I just started Gloriosa daisies, Gaillardia, Coreopsis & English Daisies this year. I only have established NOID black-eyed Susans and Purple Coneflowers. I've been working a little more on my perennials this year. I too love daisy type flowers. Don't mind my ramble! Becky...See MoreHAVE: 2013 Ft Worth Autumn Swap November 2
Comments (150)Marti, my Shasta daisies look wilted too, but they're getting ready to die back for the winter anyway; just dig up the pitiful-looking plant, & the new owner will plant it, & the roots will send up a new crown in the spring. I have a few daisies that have given up the ghost, & the new crowns have emerged already! Remy, if you have enough of the lotion and/or shampoo if that's what it is (bad monitor, bad bad monitor!), I'd like to trade...something? anything? I did pot up another rose for you, looks like another, or maybe the same, China rose, but it's a freebie; it's a leetle feller & its leaves are yellow, don't know if something's wrong with it or if it's just going dormant early. I did find some red yucca seeds from this year & some bur oak acorns from 2012; I had hoped to grow a bur oak, but I can't keep the squirrels out of them!...See Morerosaprimula
