Looking forward to a new garden season, I would very much like to get hold of some favourite flowers which I grew years ago. I always knew them as Esther Reeds but I believe they are now known as Shasta Daisies or Leucanthemums. I have googled them and found pictures and information about them but nowhere can I find anywhere where I can buy any. Please does anyone know where they might be available?
Thank you

Last year i got some Shasta daisies on either ebay or Amazon. They did brilliantly.

Leucanthemum is also Ox-eye daisy - grow from seed (100s for one or two £s) or plants will be in virtually every garden centre around Easter.
Esther Reed is a particular named variety.

It was my wife's favorite flower and they will always be in our garden and I am glad to see that they will now again be in yours too.:)

Hi, if you go to the green banner near the top of the page, click on garden centre, click on plants, then the letter 'L' you will see, Crocus, Burncoose, and Suttons advertising them, click on 1 of them, and it will take you to their website, I buy lots of plants from Crocus, they sell good sized plants, which are well packaged, and no matter how much you buy, there is only 1 delivery charge, which is £4,95, Derek.
