The following is presented to help others as I have not grown this plant. Info. is from Wayside's catalog/website.

A wonderfully flamboyant Shasta Daisy, this European native boasts huge 3 1/2-inch semi-double blooms on plants that are scarcely a foot tall and wide. Ideal for cutting, they arise profusely all summer, making 'Goldrausch' a standout in garden or container.

These blooms may remind you of Sunflowers, with their widely-spaced outer petals of pure white, notched at the tips and of differing lengths and sizes. They provide a crisp, fresh backdrop to the inner ring of shorter, slightly twisted, slender petals of yellow and gold, surrounding a large amber-gold cone. A single bloom adds distinction to an indoor arrangement, and a whole vase full is almost an embarrassment of riches.

Like all Shastas, 'Goldrausch' appreciates plenty of sunshine and excellent drainage. Just 14 inches high and 12 inches wide, it is very well-branched and vigorous, reblooming eagerly when the first flowers are cut or deadheaded. Expect a long season of exciting form and extra-large blooms from this compact perennial. Zones 4-9.
