Origin

The Leucanthemum family and in particular the Shasta Daisy so widely used and beloved by our parents are native to the Pyrenees between Spain and France. Angel Daisies come to us from a breeding programme using the gene pool of Leucanthemum X superbum and was carried out by the Bodger seed company.

Care Instructions

Care points are few. It is important to be sure that plants are grown in well draining mix whether in the garden or pot. They do not like wet feet. Mulching around the plant but not right up to the crown conserves moisture and encourages the plant to keep flowering. Remove spent flowers weekly, this encourages many more blooms over a longer period. Little Angel does not like to be overfed but needs light applications of fertiliser from time to time. In well prepared media in garden or pot with compost incorporated little extra fertilizer will be needed.

Uses

In gardens around the country gardeners are looking for easy care but rewarding flowering plants to make their surrounds more livable.
