Nipponanthemum nipponicum
Choose Montauk Daisy if you want clean white daisy bloom after most perennials are winding down. The tradeoff: it needs a sunny, well-drained spot and is not the plant we’d pick where deer are a regular problem. It is hardy to zone 5, so it is a better fit for southern and coastal New England than the coldest northern sites.
Buy This If
- You want daisies after summer bloom fades.
- The site is sunny and drains well.
- You prefer white flowers over mixed colors.
Skip This If
- Deer regularly feed in that bed.
- Soil stays wet after rain.
- You garden in zone 3 or 4.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The late white flowers show well when many perennial beds are running out of bloom. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in quickly enough for a perennial, but it still needs a proper growing season to look settled. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on a spring cutback and an early-summer shearing to keep the clump compact. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | Its upright habit works in tighter borders, but it is not a tiny edging plant. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Montauk Daisy for the middle or back of a sunny perennial bed where late bloom matters more than spring color. Give it drainage and avoid deer-heavy edges.

Customers Usually Ask
Is it the same as Shasta daisy?
No, it blooms later and has thicker, darker foliage.
Is Montauk Daisy the same as Nippon daisy?
Yes, they are two common names for the same plant, Nipponanthemum nipponicum.
Can it handle coastal sites?
Yes, it has good salt tolerance if the soil drains.
How do I cut it back?
Not like a regular perennial. It has a woody base, so leave the stems standing over winter and cut back in spring to just above where new leaves are breaking, usually 4 to 6 inches. Then shear it back by about half in early to mid June; that keeps it compact and stops it from flopping when it blooms in fall.
