AMAZING DAISIES ® Banana Cream Leucanthemum<br />

A perfect container plant for retail, this vigorous grower has a<br />

compact habit, excellent disease resistance, and axillary budding,<br />

which results in Summer-long bloom. The 4-5" flowers open<br />

lemon-yellow, lightening to butter-yellow, and finally to creamywhite<br />

as they mature. An extra row of ray petals gives the flowers<br />

a fuller appearance than true single varieties and the compact,<br />

dark green foliage is a strong contrast for the yellow blooms.<br />

AMAZING DAISIES ® DAISY MAY ® Leucanthemum<br />

This plant is the gold standard in white shasta daisies,<br />

with beautiful 3" white flowers that form a solid dome of<br />

blooms. DAISY MAY ® is a compact, easy-to-grow perennial<br />

with a long bloom time. Deadheading results in multiple<br />

rounds of rebloom.<br />

GROWING TIPS<br />

» High light in production is essential.<br />

» Avoid overwatering. Plants grown too dry will often be shorter and will<br />

have delayed flowering and fewer flowers.<br />

» Cold vernalization adds to bud count, but warmer temperatures are<br />

needed to elongate flower stems.<br />

» Needs 100 – 125 ppm N constant liquid feed for optimal growth.<br />

» Scout regularly for aphids.<br />

Additional Culture Information<br />

pH/EC: 5.8-6.2/0.6-0.9<br />

Rooting Out Temperature: 65-72º F (18-22º C)<br />

Growing Temperature: 65-72º F (18-22º C)<br />

Holding Temperature: 40-50º F (4-10º C)<br />

Water Requirements: Moderate to moist<br />

Finish Times in Weeks: 4-5", 6-8; 6"/Gallon, 7-9<br />

Notes:<br />

For DAISY MAY ® , vernalization requirement is only 4 weeks. Banana<br />

Cream has an obligate cold requirement for flowering. Provide 6-9<br />

weeks of cold when vernalizing. Scout regularly for aphids.<br />

» Dead heading isn’t necessary but removal of old blooms may improve<br />

the appearance of the plant and may increase bloom length.<br />
