Leucanthemum x superbum 'Becky'
Choose Becky Shasta Daisy if you want a strong white cutting daisy for a sunny perennial bed. The tradeoff: it needs deadheading or cutback to stay neat, and it is not the plant for regular deer browsing.
Buy This If
- You want white daisies for cutting.
- You can group several plants together.
- You will clean up spent blooms.
Skip This If
- Deer regularly browse your perennials.
- You need a very tidy plant.
- You want winter structure or screening.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The white petals and yellow centers read clearly from a distance, especially when planted in groups. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly for a perennial without acting like a spreading groundcover. |
| Maintenance | B- | Deadheading and cutting back tired stems keep the plant cleaner after bloom. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | The clump is manageable, but the flower stems need room around them to look right. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a perennial flower, not a plant for privacy or boundary screening. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Becky in groups, not as one lonely plant. Plan to cut flowers and remove tired stems so the planting still looks intentional after the main bloom.

Why Choose Perennials for Your Garden?
