A striking variety of the ever-popular Shasta daisy. This robust, clump-forming perennial has glossy, almost fleshy, dark green leaves and bright white flowers arranged round a yolk-coloured central disc borne on top of long green stems. The flowers appear over a long period, usually from early summer to early autumn, and have unusual, ragged petals that look as if they have been shredded. This easy-to-grow daisy looks best planted in bold drifts in a sunny border alongside any yellow Achillea or with ornamental grasses. It also makes a good cut flower. Garden care: Divide congested plants in early spring or late summer. Protect young plants from slugs and snails. Cut down to the ground in autumn.
