Becky is the Shasta daisy that actually holds up in the South: crisp white daisies with gold centers on stiff, upright stems around three feet that stay standing through a summer storm. It blooms for weeks in early to midsummer.

Plant it in full sun in average soil; it handles heat, humidity, and dry spells better than older Shastas. Deadhead for repeat flowers and cut freely for the vase. Divide clumps every few years to keep them blooming hard.
