this is a great type of daisy.......won't flop-over from the rain.
Thank you for mentioning this, it is always helpful to hear of other people's experiences. The more we learn and share... the better it is for all of us. We've grown Leucanthemum 'Snowcap' for many years and know it to be a superb performer that is well worth including in our layouts in this region, but hearing from you (and others) is a great way to encourage anyone who doesn't know about it, to think about enjoying it too.
I will finish by saying that there is some remarkable breeding work going on with new, compact growing Shasta Daisies, so stay tuned because as we complete our trials and evaluate them, we'll be posting new videos. So save some space!
What kind of soil do you use? Peat moss and garden soil with perlite? Vermiculite better? Coco coir instead of peat moss? Just use an any all purpose balanced organic fertilizer? Thanks!
Thanks for watching and your question.
Our compost is made from pine bark, a by-product of the timber industry and we use standard commercial slow-release fertilizers.

Just planted in a planter (first time!). Dead heard first flowers 2 weeks ago but no more flowers? What am I doing wrong
It just takes time for the growth cycle to catch up. It may also be the time of year, they flower strongest in early summer (and least now in mid-summer), and it looks like you probably potted it on the tail end of this period. Once it settles in builds a good strong root system and gets going, you can look forward to lots of pretty large daisy-like flowers.
Many thanks .. very new to all this but enjoying .. best regards and keep videos coming!
