'Becky'

2003 PPA Plant of Year

Height:
36-40"
Bloom:
June-July
Hardiness:
Zone 3-9
Light:
Full Sun/Partial shade with afternoon sun

Why you need this plant:        Long lasting mid-summer daisy with huge 4" flowers that stand out above shiny, olive green leaves.  The longest blooming of the Shastas, 'Becky' will keep blooming through August with deadheading.  Excellent plant for this region because of its tolerance of heat and humidity.

 
Planting Info:       Thrives in rich well-draining soil and may require an additional mid-summer feeding to keep growth vigorous.  Divide plants every 2-3 years to maintain health.  When blooms are finished in late August, cut plants down to stimulate vegetative growth and help form buds for next year.
