40 Perennial Plants to Create Your Perfect Summer Garden

13. Shasta Daisy

Few flowers epitomize "summer!" quite like the iconic Shasta Daisy. Instantly recognizable, it boasts a classic daisy appearance, sporting a fringe of stunning stark white petals surrounding a prominent yellow disc. These blooms endure admirably, even in the face of heat and drought, and they make exquisite additions to both fresh and dried flower arrangements.

They spread gracefully, swiftly transforming any patch into a lush daisy haven. However, one downside of the Shasta Daisy is its distinctive scent, which some may find disagreeable, akin to that of marigolds. You might want to refrain from cutting a fresh bouquet for your table.
