Shasta Daisies are very drought tolerant and will grow with very limited water. At our nursery we have a clump in partial shade that only gets water about once per month or less and still looks healthy and blooms during summers of 100+ degrees. These are ideal plants for borders and flower beds, but if you have the space they are fantastic for planting to naturalize in a field of different colored flowers. One of the best uses we've ever seen of Shasta Daisy is in a garden in Northern Oregon where these are planted about ten feet wide against both sides of a three foot wide path winding through a clearing with Japanese Maples on the edges. It creates a wonderful sense of walking through a dense field of flowers in the mountains, and if you have the space we would highly recommend planting in a similar fashion.
This is an easy plant to grow and is one of the better picks for beginning gardeners because of its tolerance for many different growing conditions. After the plants are done flowering the foliage is a beautiful deep green that forms a dense clump about 14 inches tall. The flowers grow about three feet tall. The foliage is also evergreen in zones 6b-9, while in colder zones the foliage will die back in the winter before resprouting in the spring. A large number of pollinators love Shasta Daisies including a wide variety of native butterflies and solitary bees. The seeds are then a staple for many smaller birds such as finches.

Packing Plants For ShippingWe pack our plants depending on the needs of each species and size, most plants ship best with the roots packed in moist sawdust or bark fines but some species don't like root disturbance and are shipped in a soil-less growing media. Excess soil is washed from the roots in preparation for shipping (18-24" White Pines)  Plants are bundled together to fit in boxes  Bundles of plants are secured in long boxes. Plant Sizes 3 gallon Dawn Redwood  Standard quart shrub  Standard 14-18" multi-stem tree size  Standard deep plug pine tree Bamboo Plants Are Shipped In Their ContainersBamboo roots are not flexible and so plants have to be shipped in their containers. These plants are heavier and are shipped separately from bare root plants. Because they are potted they can handle longer transit times so can ship via UPS Ground instead of USPS Air Mail. Potted plants can also be shipped year-round.We regularly top our 1 gallon bamboo plants at 24-30 inches tall throughout the growing season. This results in dense, bushy foliage while allowing for economical shipping. From this size most running species will grow to 5-6 feet tall in the first spring and clumping species will usually grow to 4-5 feet tall.  1 gallon bamboo plants strapped in and ready to be sealed. Unpacking Bare Root PlantsYou will be sent tracking details as soon as your plants are shipped. Unpack your plants as quickly as possible after they are delivered. We use two types of boxes, side-sealing and top-sealing. For boxes that are taped along the whole length you can cut the tape on either side and remove the plant bundles by cutting the tape holding the bundle to the bottom. For boxes that are sealed on the top and bottom, it is easiet to open the bottom of the box (the shipping label is at the top) and pull the bundle of plants out straight out. Check that the box is empty as there can be a second bundle of plants stuck towards the top. A bundle of trees. What if I am not able to plant right away?You can usually leave the plants in their shipping container unopened for 1-2 days if there were no shipping delays and you have received your plants from late November through February. Plants shipped when it is warmer can't stay in their packages for as long.For longer term storage of plants you can pot them up or plant them in rows close together temporarily and then pull them out later in the spring to be planted again. This keeps the roots moist while allowing for air flow to the tops. The roots should have good contact with the soil to ensure they have access to adequate moisture. |
