Leucanthemum X Superbum 'Whoops-a-Daisy'

Despite its name, Leucanthemum x superbum 'Whoops-a-Daisy' is the result of careful breeding. The dwarf Shasta Daisy produces a uniform mound of dark green foliage before upholstering itself from early to midsummer in full, nearly fluffy, white blossoms with buttonlike golden centers. This one is made for the edges of sunny borders and pathways. PP 27,259

Shasta Daisies (Leucanthemum x superbum) are the same plants known by many under the genus Chrysanthemum, but as longtime gardeners, we've become used to having plant names change. What hasn't changed is the plants themselves, which are some of the showiest and most reliable perennials for the summer garden. At peak bloom, they produce a mass of Daisies so clean and bright they compete in brilliance with the sun. All they require is well-drained soil and lots of sun. When you want Daisies, this is where to look.
