September - Botanical Library - Snail Mail
Updated: Sep 2
Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum) is your classic cottage garden daisy.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals around a yellow centre. A robust, clump-forming plant with thick, narrow, dark green leaves. Flowers appears from early summer to autumn. Flowers are large, around 10cm across on sturdy stems. Flowers have a long vase life which makes this an excellent plant for cut flowers.
These are hardy plants and easy to grow. Their only requirements are full sun and well drained soil. My plants get to around 2m in height, so support is required.
This month includes 15 open pollinated seeds.
It is time to take a break from the screen, learn a new skill and get back to nature.
Each month will feature a plant that I have growing in my garden in Tasmania.
You will receive:
A letter from me.
Seeds for that month's plant. These are seeds from my garden.
A card with a photo I have taken of the plant on the front, inside are my botanical notes about the plant including information on how to grow your seeds and space for you to make notes. File this away and watch your botanical library grow each month.
Horticultural support, email me if you have any questions regarding that month's feature plant.
