I really wanted to plant 'Marconi' Shasta daisies, but it appears that
nurseries no longer carry this variety. I will settle for a similar
Shasta.

It should carry its flowers on stems that are at least 2 feet tall. The
flowers should be large, either single or semi-double, with a yellow
"button" in the center.

I really prefer to see a plant before I buy it. Thus, if anyone knows
of a nursery in Los Angeles County or Ventura County that has a
'Marconi' look-alike, please let me know.
