Leucanthemum x superbum

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Description: Clump-forming perennial with dark green, lance-shaped foliage. Large, solitary, white flowers with yellow centers bloom in early to late summer. Prefers well-drained, moist soils. Tolerates some drought. Very showy, suitable for most landscape situations.

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.
