The difference between white crystal daisy and big daisy

1. Plant Differences

The plant of white crystal chrysanthemum is about 15 to 25 cm tall, with leaves that are alternate and pinnate one or two times.

The plant of Shasta daisy is 30 to 70 cm tall, with an upright stem that is unbranched or sparsely branched from the base and covered with long hairs. The leaves are alternate, long oblanceolate, with basal leaves up to 30 cm long. The upper leaves gradually become shorter, lanceolate, with rounded tips and gradually narrow bases. The edges of the leaves have fine serrations.

2. Flower Differences

The flowers of white crystal chrysanthemum are borne in terminal capitula and are disc-shaped. The ligulate flowers on the edges are silvery white, while the ligulate flowers in the middle are golden yellow. The colors are distinct and bright, and the diameter of the flowers is 3 to 4 cm.

The flowers of Shasta daisy are in head-shaped inflorescences, solitary at the top of the plant, with a diameter of about 5 to 8 cm. The ligulate flowers are white, with wide tongues and blunt tips.
