Leucanthemum hosmariense

Leucanthemum hosmariense Details

Leucanthemum hosmariense, commonly known as the Moroccan Daisy, is grown for its impressive flowering. The daisy-like flowers are white with a yellow centre, and are produced from late winter until summer. The flowers are great for attracting butterflies and bring fantastic colour. This herbaceous perennial grows as a tidy mound of silver-green foliage to about 30 cm tall and the same wide, and performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of coastal environments, cool climates, and moderate frost once established. Leucanthemum hosmariense is commonly included in a mixed planting, used in cottage and “white” gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, maintained in a container, or mass planted for an impressive display.
