Crazy Daisy, known as Chrysanthemum maximum, Leucanthemum x superbum, or Shasta Daisy, is a perennial flower native to North America. This variety offers an upright, mounded habit of 24-28" tall and 12-18" wide, with frilly double white flowers 2.5" in diameter with bright yellow centers from summer to fall. Not only is Crazy Daisy a cheery and low-maintenance perennial, but this plant resists deer and attracts pollinators, making it an excellent choice for cutting gardens, landscape beds, and sunny borders. Crazy Daisy is a must-have perennial for cottage gardens, flourishing in full sun with little water or maintenance and hardy in zone 4-8. For a mix of vibrant colors, consider growing Chrysanthemum Robinson's Mix.
Sell Crazy Daisy to customers looking for a unique Shasta Daisy for the garden. This variety cheers up the landscape and will charm customers with its long-lasting, fringed, double, white blooms, easy care, and mounding habit. Add an enchanting element of texture to cottage gardens by pairing Crazy Daisy with Echinacea, Rudbeckia, Perovskia, Salvia, and Asclepias.

1. Space seedling plugs 18-24" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist and neither dry nor water-logged.
3. This plant doesn't require fertilizing, but deadheading spent flowers will create a neat appearance and encourage continued blooming.
For best results with Crazy Daisy, plant one seedling plug per 4-inch or three per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.5, EC of 1.5-2.5 mS/cm, and medium feed (150-200 ppm N) with a balanced fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 20-10-20. Provide temperatures of 68-75 daytime and 60-65 nighttime. Pinch once after transplanting and use B-Nine if needed. Watch for aphids, spider mites, thrips, and powdery mildew. This plant requires 10-12 weeks of vernalization, then 7-8 weeks of long days to bloom.
White, double, frilly flowers 2.5" in diameter bloom from summer to fall.
Pinch once after transplanting.
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant. We recommend spacing 4- or 10-inch conatiners 8-10" apart.
Grow bushy plants and prevent legginess with good cultural practices, including proper fertilizer rates, watering, and light. This plant doesn't typically need chemical growth regulators but will respond to B-Nine at 2,500-5,000 ppm.
Watch for aphids, spider mites, and thrips. Use preventative measures in your greenhouse, including sanitary practices and allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Implement an Integrated Pest Management plan to prevent severe damage from infestations.
Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that cause damage by sucking sap from plant tissue. They reproduce quickly and are particularly attracted to young growth. Curling and yellowed leaves, stunted growth, and stickiness on leaves are signs of an infestation. These insects also spread diseases and reproduce rapidly. Use biological controls or horticultural oils to discourage and kill aphids.
Spider Mites are tiny pests that cause stippling, yellowing, and webbing on foliage by feeding on plant sap. They flourish in warm, dry environments. Use correct water and fertilizing practices; over-fertilizing can attract spider mites. Proper humidity levels, predatory mites or ladybugs, and insecticidal soaps or oils may prevent or address a spider mite infestation.
Thrips are tiny insects that eat plant tissue and can transmit viruses. Watch for silvery-white streaks or black spots on foliage and distorted growth. Use natural predators (like predatory mites), insecticidal soap, neem oil, and sticky traps to control infestations and prevent spread.
You may see Powdery Mildew. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse, water at the base of each plant and allow the soil to dry between waterings, and implement an Integrated Pest Management Plan to prevent significant damage from diseases to your seedling plugs.
Powdery Mildew is a fungal disease that thrives in humid conditions, appearing as a white or gray coating on foliage and flowers. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend horizontal airflow fans to help control humidity levels alongside a dehumidifier or manual venting. Remove and destroy infected plants and apply fungicides as needed or preventatively. Look for the active ingredients myclobutanil, trifloxystrobin, or potassium bicarbonate to combat Powdery Mildew threatening your seedling plugs.
We recommend planting one seedling plug per 4-inch or three per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in the container. Water and pinch after transplanting.
