The listing, Shasta Daisy has ended.

I have 10Shasta Daisy Seeds that I harvested from my very own Shasta Daisy beds up for bids...
Shasta Daisy is a classic perennial & make a wonderful cut flower arrangement... It looks similar to the familiar Roadside Daisy but has larger and more robust blooms... Shasta Daisies are grown in many southern gardens but are very adaptable to other climates as well... Shasta daisies tend to bloom in clumps from 2' to 3' tall and 1' to 2' wide. They bear all-white daisy petals, yellow disk florets, and contrasting glossy, dark green leaves. Butterflies can't resist them!! Like clockwork, Shasta Daisies return every spring or early summer and bloom until early fall. They are never invasive (like some consider roadside daisies to be) and they are terrific for cutting. They grow very well in full sun. Soil should be moderately fertile, not overly rich, moist but well-drained.Sow seeds in containers in a cold frame in autumn or spring. Divide perennials in early spring or late summer.Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 to 15 inches, then mix in a 2 to 4" layer of compost. Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart. Dig a hole twice the diameter of the container. When placing plant in the hole, make sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill around the root ball and firm the soil. Water thoroughly.
Care: Water during the summer only if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. After the first killing frost, cut stems back to an inch or two above the soil line. Every spring, apply some compost and mulch to help control weeds. Every 3 to 4 years, divide perennials again in early spring or late summer.
