Whitecap Shasta Daisy is a compact fast-growing perennial with a dense mounding habit and coarse, leathery dark green foliage. Heavy blooms of large white daisy-like flowers with golden centers on short stems obscure the foliage in summer. Prefers full sun and moist well-drained soil. Whitecap has improved weather tolerance, especially against summer rains.
