Bill,

A few years ago, all of the seed companies were selling seeds for a shasta
called 'Snow Queen'.  They were definately annuals.  My greatest success with
shastas is to keep growing different kinds of seeds and eventually you will
get a real perennial.  I have had great success with 'Polar Star'.  You do
need to keep dividing them every few years or they will die out in the center.
If I can remember to check tomorrow I will look at the labels on my other
shastas and report back to you.  I am drawing a blank and I know that I have 3
varieties including 'Polar Star'.  Donna
