Leucanthemum x superbum 'Real Sunbeam'

Plant Description: Large, butter-yellow flowers with blunt petals and a classic daisy shape make for a cheerful addition to sunny gardens and cut flower arrangements. This cultivar of a classic perennial boasts disease-resistant mounding foliage and a long bloom time.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
