Dwarf Shasta Daisy
Snow Lady is a compact, dwarf form of shasta daisy, reaching to only one foot in height. The stout stems easily support the abundance of large white flowers without the need for staking.
Shasta daisies bloom in mid-summer after most of the spring flowers have finished blooming. The dark green leaves form a dense clump. Snow Lady is worth considering if you have a moderate water area where you'd like to grow a short shasta daisy.
Shasta daisies are deer resistant.
