    The CLASSIC daisy that Grandma loved! 2-3’ tall sturdy stems that don’t need staking are topped by the beloved yellow centered, white petaled flowers most of the summer! Full sun, dryish soil (not picky about soil but needs well drained soil in soggy winter climates); critter and deer resistant, tough plants! Long lasting cut flower, also used to tell the future (loves me...loves me not) and for jewelry (daisy chains). Divide every 2-3years for best longevity.
