| Description | A Shasta daisy to reign supreme over all others, with a corona of rich gold that sits on fully double, frilly yellow petals that whiten as they age for a majestic ombré effect. A wonderfully compact, mounded plant with enough height and scale to really hold its own in a mixed border. An herbaceous perennial. A Monrovia Exclusive. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Late spring into summer |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Herbaceous |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Waterwise, Fast Growing, Compact Form |
| Problems/Solutions | Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Fast |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Long Bloom Season, Showy Flowers |
| Patent Act | Asexual reproduction of plants protected by the Plant Patent Act is prohibited during the life of the patent. |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Small Spaces |
| Design Ideas | Add to foundation plantings for easy care color. An essential of the cottage garden partnered with other casual, easy-care perennials. Though wholly of garden origin it is strongly aligned with the perennials of the American prairie and belongs in beds and meadows with them. Super with native plants and naturalizes beautifully in wild gardens, even in dry western climates. Highbrow enough to use in estate settings and massed formal beds with a box hedge perimeter. |
| Flower Color | Yellow |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Tickseed (Coreopsis); Speedwell (Veronica); Salvia (Salvia); Daylily (Hemerocallis); Blanket Flower (Gaillardia) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in average, well-drained soils; does not tolerate poorly drained, soggy soils. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought. Remove spent flower stems to encourage rebloom and maintain a tidy appearance. |
| History | An exclusive Monrovia introduction, from award-winning breeder Terra Nova Nurseries of the United States. King's Crown™ was selected for its stand-out fully double blooms with fantastic yellow coloring. |
