I noticed these pink ones. I don't remember seeing that color before. I used to grow Shastas but don't have any now. Does anyone grow them?

Wow! Those are pretty.

Some of the descriptions of those that are really double say they look like the are topped with shredded coconut. Here's that type:

I grow Shastas. You can see some of them in the pics I posted in your other thread, about the Mimosa. There are some in front of my Japanese Maple.

These were a gift from my mother-in-law. She grows them in her yard in Florida and brought me some to grow here. I've had mine for about 5 years, but I need to move them. The Japanese Maple has grown so much, it's blocking their sun, and they LOVE sun.

I like all the Shasta daisies. How long do yours bloom?

Here's a close-up of one really double white variety:

Mine bloom from spring all the way through summer, though as you can see from the pics, I need to deadhead them. But they are great, and like my Gerbera daisies, bloom throughout the spring and summer. I them all!

I really like the pink ones! I'll have to see about getting some for the new yard.

I saw Shasta "Banana Cream" today at Lowe's in Douglasville. They weren't blooming yet but some of the buds wer about ready to open. I might go back in a few days and see them in bloom. It looked like they had just gotten them in. I like the way they look in this photo and they sound good from the description:

Huge 4" yellow flowers blooms over 3 months!

Over 50 daisies on a single plant!

“This new Shasta Daisy bred by Kevin Hurd of Walters Gardens, Inc. gains the edge as one of the best new daisies for 2010!

Masses of flowers literally smother the plant when in bloom and are held upright on strong stiff stems.

The unusual combination of yellow hued flower color last for up to an astonishing two weeks in a vase!
