Margarita de Shasta
Leucanthemum × superbum
La clásica margarita blanca y amarilla de jardín: una perenne herbácea que forma matas compactas con vistosas cabezuelas florales de lígulas blancas en torno a un disco central amarillo desde mediados del verano hasta el otoño. Híbrido de jardín creado por Luther Burbank en la década de 1890 cerca del nevado Monte Shasta en el norte de California; alcanza entre 2-3 feet de altura y es un pilar del borde de perennes, el jardín rústico y el jardín de flores de corte. De cultivo sencillo en suelos secos a moderadamente húmedos y bien drenados a pleno sol, tolera la sequía, atrae a las mariposas y es resistente al ramoneo de ciervos y conejos.

2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
