Leucanthemum Victorian Secret (also known as Dwarf Shasta Daisy) is a cultivar of the Shasta Daisy, a hybrid developed from three daisy varieties and the Pyrenees Chrysanthemum by Luther Burbank in Northern California in the 1890s. Leucanthemum superbum has many varieties. The Victorian Secret is the shortest in height of the three varieties we offer, growing only 14-16" tall, while the Leucanthemum Lucille Grace and the Leucanthemum Coconut each grow up to 24" tall. Victorian Secret offers ruffled white and yellow flowers that are great for cutting. Victorian Secret does well in medium, well-drained soil with full sun. Victorian Secret is particularly good in small gardens due to its compact size, compared to the Lucille Grace or Coconut varieties. Victorian Secret is extremely versatile, performing well in mixed garden beds, pots, and borders.
Victorian Secret Selling Tips
Sell Victorian Secret to your customers who are looking for a compact flower for small garden beds or pots. Victorian Secret is a great way to add the classic Shasta Daisy to a small cottage or cutting garden. It does well in full-sun and extreme heat and blooms throughout the summer. Its ruffled white and yellow flowers look cheery along borders and they're odor free which make them a fantastic cutting daisy.
Coach your customer:
Try Victorian Secret along borders, in containers, or in your cut flower garden.
Space Victorian Secret plants about 14 inches apart in well-drained soil. Make sure your customers aren't planting in acid soil (Lucanthemum prefer a pH of 5.8-6.8).
Removing spent flowers will encourage continued blooming.
You may see verticillium wilt, leaf spots, stem rot, and aphids and mites. Victorian Secret is resistant to rabbits and deer.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
To achieve the best results with Victorian Secret, use a well-drained soil in full sun with 50-100 ppm weekly and pH of 5.8-6.8. Plant 1 plug per 4 inch pot or 1801. We recommend spacing containers 7-10" for airflow and light penetration. In a landscape application, space Victorian Secret plants about 14 inches apart. For a taller upright variety, try Leucanthemum Coconut. Look out for aphids and mites. In a landscape environment, Victorian Secret is drought resistant and does well even in extreme heat.
Flowering
Victorian Secret flowers June-August. Deadhead flowers to encourage 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 even light penetration. In landscape, space plants about 14" apart.
Height Control
Victorian Secret is not prone to stretch tall.
Pests
You may see aphids and mites.
Disease
No major diseases affect Victorian Secret.
Planting Victorian Secret Liners
Plant one starter plant per 4 inch pot or 1801. Plant your starter directly in the middle of your container, deep enough that the ellepot is completely covered with soil. Use well-drained soil.
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.

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.
