Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum Sweet Daisy™ Christine)

The Shasta Daisy, including the ‘Sweet Daisy™ Christine’ cultivar, is **not native to any specific geographical location**. It’s a hybrid plant.

Here’s a breakdown:

* **Leucanthemum x superbum:** This part of the name tells us it’s a hybrid within the Leucanthemum genus. It’s a cross between multiple species, primarily from European and Asian *Leucanthemum* species. Luther Burbank is credited with creating the original Shasta Daisy hybrids in California.
* **’Sweet Daisy™ Christine’:** This is a specific cultivar name. Cultivars are developed by plant breeders, so they are not found naturally in the wild.

Therefore, the “native region” is more accurately described as **horticultural development** (specifically, the work of Luther Burbank and subsequent breeding programs). The plant has European and Asian *Leucanthemum* species in its ancestry, but the final product is an artificial hybrid created by humans.
