Are shasta daisies short lived like echinacea? Perhaps not in warmer zones, but up here they seem to only be good for 3 or 4 years unless divided. I had a couple White Swan echinacea that just fizzled right at the 4 year mark. One of them must have dropped seed that last year, though, because now I have a large clump of purple echinacea. Ironically, I like the purple ones better in that spot.
I really like Ice Star Shasta Daisy, as well. I picked it up on a whim off the clearance rack when my local nursery went out of business (
) and now I really love them. I should figure out how long I've had them and divide them so I don't loose them like I did the echinacea.
@Polymerous, how do you like the Flower Carpet Coral rose? I fell in love with the bloom color and plan to put some in my front walkway this fall. Do you have any favorite plant combinations with that coral color? I was originally looking at putting pink/fuschia shrub roses there so I have to rethink all my choices now that I just
have to have that coral rose instead!
