I live in zone 5. I ordered this snowball shasta daisy from garden crossings. I received a healthy plant. It flowered endlessly, even during fall, then wilted and died. It was in a sunny location with good drainage. I just don't have luck with daisies, I guess.
Flowers need staking. This is not a compact daisy.
