Its buds open lemon yellow and slowly brighten to creamy white, so the plant shows a mix of yellow and cream flowers at once. It flowers more heavily, starts earlier and holds its yellow color longer than the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tidy plant grows about 20 to 24 inches tall and wide and blooms from early summer into late summer, with more flowers if deadheaded. It is easy to grow and suits containers, borders, mass plantings and cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, daisy-shaped flowers with overlapping petals that open lemon yellow and fade to creamy white, each with a golden yellow button center. Flowers of different ages mix yellow and cream on the same plant. They are held on sturdy stems just above a mound of glossy, dark green, lance-shaped, toothed leaves. The plant forms a neat, rounded clump about 20 to 24 inches tall and 20 to 22 inches wide. At peak the mound is covered with a mix of soft yellow and cream daisies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShasta daisies share lavender's love of full sun and well-drained soil, and their crisp white flowers with gold centers make a classic cottage-garden partner for purple lavender in early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in average, well-drained soil; water during dry spells but avoid soggy ground, especially in winter.
