Becky is a Shasta daisy. I had them in the wrong place because I didn't know how tall they grow, over 36 inches. Had dozens and dozens of very large long-stem daisies for many weeks the first year, spring/summer of 2009. They looked like florist daisies, they were so perfect. Becky is not invasive, just prolific bloomers.

My only previous experience with Shasta daisies had been an heirloom type that my mother mailed me roots to start in 1980. She and my aunt had them forever. They didn't grow as tall but were beautiful. Unfortunately, the summer of 1999, my Mom was at my home under hospice care and I forgot my flowers and didn't water. Lost everything. I've missed the daisies most, so the Becky variety was a good substitute.
