Daisy Seeds (Shasta) – Silver Princess

Compact Shasta Daisies with Classic White Charm Shasta Daisy Silver Princess (Leucanthemum × superbum 'Silver Princess') is a beloved short-stemmed heirloom variety that produces abundant pure white daisies with vivid golden-yellow centres on tidy, compact plants. Unlike taller shastas, Silver Princess stays under 12 inches — making it perfect for the front of borders, raised beds, rockeries, and containers. A short-lived perennial that flowers in its first year from seed, Silver Princess offers years of return blooms in cooler regions and a long, generous flowering season in Pakistani winter and spring gardens.

For Punjab, Sindh, and most plain regions, sow from September–February; plants establish through winter and bloom from February through April. In cooler northern hill areas (Murree, Swat, Hunza, Quetta), it can grow as a true perennial and may bloom into summer. Provide full sun, well-drained fertile soil, and consistent moderate watering. Plants struggle once daytime temperatures exceed 30°C, so time sowing for cool weather. Cut back after flowering to encourage a second flush.
