Leucanthemum Coconut (also known as Double Shasta Daisy) is a variation of the Shasta Daisy, a hybrid plant Luther Burbank developed in the 1890s in California. Coconut is distinguished from the similar Victorian Secret cultivar primarily by its fluffy, fringed blooms which span 3" in diameter and resemble shaved coconut pieces. Coconut reaches 18-24" in height, similar to the Lucille Grace variety. Flowering from June to August, Coconut resists deer, attracts pollinators, and makes a wonderful addition to garden beds, pots, and even vases as a cut flower.
Coconut Selling Tips
Sell Coconut to your customers who are looking for a long-lasting cut flower that blooms throughout the summer. Coconut stands out from the similar Lucille Grace variety with its unique fluffy, fringed blooms. This variety pairs well with Coreopsis Auriculata Nana. It resists deer and rabbits, attracts pollinators, and reaches 18-24" in height. Produces well the first year.
Coach your customer:
Plant Coconut along borders, in large containers, or in your cut flower garden. Planting in raised beds will provide well-drained soil.
Space plants 14-19" apart in well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead flowers to increase bloom time. Divide in spring or fall to increase the plant's longevity.
You may see aphids, mites, and slugs.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For the best results with Coconut, use well-drained soil in full sun with 50-100 ppm weekly and a pH of 5.5-6.8. Plant 1 plug per 4 inch pot or 1801. We recommend spacing containers 7-10" for airflow and light penetration. In a landscape application, plants should be 19 inches apart.
For a more compact variety, try
Leucanthemum Victorian Secret. Look out for aphids, mites, and slugs.
Flowering
Coconut flowers June-August. Deadhead flowers to promote continuous blooming. For a longer-blooming variety, try Leucanthemum Lucille Grace.
Pinching
Cut back after the blooming season to promote reblooming for the following season.
Spacing
Space containers 7-10" apart for airflow and light penetration. In landscape applications, space plants 19 inches apart.
Height Control
Coconut is not prone to stretch tall.
Pests
You may see aphids, mites, and slugs.
Disease
No major diseases affect Coconut.
Planting Coconut Liners
Plant in well-drained soil, one starter plant per 4 inch pot or 1801. Completely cover the ellepot with soil and plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
