Leucanthemum x superbum Alaska I started Alaska from seed directly in the garden. In 2 year's time it's grown bonkers. Shasta daises should be divided every 2-3 years. I will divide this one next year.

Plant is budding up but the recent storm knocked the plant to the ground and I need to get it tied up. I should of given it some support from the beginning.

I tied up Alaska as the wind had knocked it all down. Next year I will get to it much sooner. It is quite a big plant and not at all easy to tie up after the fact. My arms can't reach that far around.

Leucanthemum x superbum Becky I bought this one when I didn't think any of the seeds of Alaska I'd planted were not coming up. I guess the joke is on me. :) They are both very similar plants. I think Becky has a longer bloom time though and II absolutely have to divided this one this year so I will be splitting it up and replanting and selling some of them too. This photo is one of the divisions I've already dug up.
