Shasta Daisy 'Little Princess'

‘Little Princess’ is a compact Shasta daisy with dark green foliage and single white flowers with golden-yellow centers. The Royal Horticultural Society lists “Little Princess” among the synonyms for its ‘Silver Princess’ profile, describing a low, clump-forming perennial that flowers from early summer into autumn. ## Garden use and appearance The short habit suits the front of a mixed border, small gardens, patio containers, and cutting beds. The RHS describes plants reaching about 30 cm tall, with daisy flowers held above thick foliage. It gives a broad maximum size range and notes that flowering time and mature growth vary with conditions. The profile’s suggested settings include cottage gardens, flower borders, patios, and wildlife gardens.

Avoid waterlogged winter soil. The RHS hardiness rating is H5, a UK rating rather than a USDA zone, so it should not be converted directly to an American zone. ## Maintenance Deadhead regularly to prolong the display, then cut stems down in winter. Divide the clump in early spring or late summer if it becomes crowded or less vigorous.
