Description
Leucanthemum × superbum is a clump-forming, upright perennial known for its clean, classic daisy flowers and dependable summer performance. Large, single to semi-double blooms feature bright white ray petals surrounding a golden-yellow center, held on sturdy stems above the foliage from early to midsummer, with many selections offering repeat bloom when deadheaded. Flowers are typically 3–5 inches wide, making them excellent for both garden display and cutting.
Foliage is dark green, lance-shaped to spoon-shaped, with a slightly coarse texture that forms a dense basal mound. Plants are deciduous, dying back in winter and re-emerging vigorously in spring. With strong stems and a tidy habit, Leucanthemum × superbum performs well in perennial borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and cut flower gardens, providing crisp contrast alongside more colorful companions.
