A 10" - 14" spread as published on the PW website?? I think not! Now in their third season, my Daisy Mays are over 3' in diameter and nearly 3' tall--and I have not fertilized them. They are absolutely covered in blooms (well, except for where a rabbit has nibbled a few). I highly recommend this plant for its prolific flowering, but think carefully about its location and spacing. I have moved one to alleviate crowding already and will consider dividing the other two next spring to enjoy the beauty in other spots as well. Banana Cream II is another vigorous plant that is generous with gorgeous blooms.

Though she may look like a typical daisy at first, look again at her large, snow white flowers which blanket the plant and all the buds along each stem. Because of better branching and many side buds, this daisy blooms much longer than typical daisies do, often all summer long if deadheaded. Stronger flower power = Daisy May!
