The Essence of Summer

If I have another daughter, I may be tempted to name her Daisy, as I adore the cheerful sunny Shasta Daisy 'Becky' and all the other flowering perennials which mimic her. The Rudbeckia 'Goldstrum' and Echinacea 'Magnus' pair spectacularly with Shasta Daisy, and the trio are super easy to grow and require practically no maintenance to boot. My Butterfly Garden has really come into its own, with all the flowers now in peak bloom, and the Shasta Daisy is the star.
