Luna, also known as Shasta Daisy, is a perennial hybrid developed by Luther Burbank in the 1890s. Terra Nova developed this cultivar for its dense habit and frilly flowers. This variety offers double, yellow flowers with golden centers blooming prolifically from May to August, gradually fading to white. Bring charm to patio containers, borders, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens, attracting butterflies to the landscape with Luna. Perennial in zone 5-9, this plant flourishes in full sun and has an upright, mounding habit of 19-22" tall and 19" wide. For a compact variety, try Lemon Puff.
Luna Selling Tips
Sell Luna to customers looking for a long-lasting cutting flower for a garden or landscape border. Customers love Luna's long bloom season, dense habit, and charming flowers. It resists deer and rabbits, attracts pollinators, and reaches 19-22" in height, producing well in the first year. Perennial in zone 5-9, this plant flourishes in full sun. Create an inviting cottage garden by growing Shasta Daisy alongside Coreopsis, Veronica, Daylily, Gaillardia, and Salvia.
Coach your customer:
Plant Luna along borders, in patio containers, or in your cut flower garden. Planting in raised beds will provide well-drained soil.
Space plants 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.
Water once a week or more often in extreme heat.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Luna, plant one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.8, EC of 1.0-1.2, temperatures of 74-76 daytime and 68-70 nighttime, and low feed (50-100 ppm N). This facultative long-day plant requires daylight extension to 14 hours at 4,000-6,000 fc. This variety needs vernalization for eight weeks at or below 45 degrees. Watch for aphids, thrips, and botrytis.
Flowering
Frilly, double, yellow flowers fade to white slowly during summer.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.
Height Control
This plant doesn't require PGRs.
Pests
You may see aphids and thrips.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease but watch for botrytis during cool, humid weather. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and water at the base of each plant, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Luna Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container. Six-inch pots finish in 10-12 weeks.
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.
