The 4 inch wide flowers are lemon yellow when they open, brightening to light butter yellow and finally to creamy white as they mature. An extra row of ray petals gives the flowers a fuller appearance than truly single varieties. Since it produces flower buds at each axillary shoot, ‘Banana Cream’ PPAF blooms prolifically all summer long atop strong, upright stems.
Compared to older cultivars, this plant has nicely compact, dark green foliage and exhibits increased disease resistance. It has proven to be a very strong grower and rapid multiplier. Try planting a few in the landscape or combination containers and you’ll be rewarded with loads of blooms for fresh bouquets.
Shasta Daisies are all-time favorites for the perennial border. The cheery flowers begin to appear in late spring and continue on for several months if faithfully deadheaded. Shastas mix so effortlessly with other perennials that no garden should be without them!

Dividing Perennials/General Info |
Removing the spent flowers increases the blooming period for most cultivars. Double forms often do better in the garden with some afternoon shade. This plant is tolerant of heat and humidity. Division in early spring every 2-3 years is the easiest method of propagation. Cuttings can be taken in the summer.
