| I bought this perennial last year and it had a tag of a Shasta Daisy on it. Think it is one of the dwarf ones. It is close to the grown, maybe about 10" tall so far. But there are no buds, no flowers, just those pretty green leaves. They are a bright green and they are shiny. Is this a Shasta? If not, do you know what it is?? |

| Looks like Montauk Daisy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Montauk Daisy
yes, montauk

| I went out to look at mine, and it is clearly a montauk. Older books called it a nippon daisy. I saw one early in the season at a Farmer's market that was also mislabled as a shasta. The grower had grown it from seed sold to him as Shasta Daisy. Mislabled seed could be the source of the error. |

| Thanks splitrock... I believe that is what it is too. Makes sense b/c there are no buds yet and it blooms late summer I think it said. Thanks for letting me know. I was starting to think it wasn't a daisy (which I love). |

| Very interesting..I know my nursery has sold these as Shasta's so I bet this mistake happens quite a bit. |
