Crazy Daisy 25 Seeds

Leucanthemum × superbum

Crazy Daisy is a striking Shasta daisy variety known for its fully double, shaggy white blooms with frilled, twisted petals surrounding a golden-yellow centre. The flowers have a playful, tousled appearance—almost like layered petticoats—bringing texture and charm to perennial borders and cottage gardens.

Blooming in early to mid-summer, this hardy perennial produces sturdy stems that make excellent cut flowers. Its bright white blossoms stand out beautifully against deep green foliage and attract bees and beneficial pollinators.
