Leucanthemum 'Madonna'
Shasta Daisy
- With its huge, daisy-like blooms and easygoing nature, ‘Madonna’ is a leucanthemum deserving of a starring role in any sunny garden!
- Long-flowering and hardy, this plant will readily attract bees and other pollinating insects, and will just as happily grow in a container as in beds and borders.
- The perfect addition to cottage plots, wildflower meadows and coastal gardens, this cheerful little fellow is as versatile as it is pretty to look at.
- A hybrid plant first grown back in 1890, Leucanthemum x superbum originally came to be known as the ‘Shasta’ daisy after the Californian peak, Mount Shasta, because of its snow-white petals.
- The more you deadhead the spent flowers, the more new blooms you’ll get, so get snipping!
