Shasta Daisy 'Snowcap' (Leucanthemum × superbum 'Snowcap')
'Snowcap' is a compact Shasta daisy cultivar that grows to 15-18" tall with a spread to 12" wide. Large, single daisies (to 4" diameter) bloom profusely throughout summer (July to September) on stiff flowering stems rising above a medium to dark green basal rosette of narrow, coarsely-toothed, short-petioled, oblanceolate leaves (to 12" long). Each flower has bright white rays surrounding a bright golden yellow center disk. Narrow, coarsely-toothed, much shorter, sessile stem leaves are lanceolate. 'Snowcap' was introduced by Alan Bloom of Blooms of Bressingham in the 1980s.
