Shasta daisies are considered the most enduring garden favourite in the USA. These hybrids were named after the shining snow on Mount Shasta in California due to the perfectly white petals of the first varieties. Beloved in Britain as well, your Leucanthemum superbum 'Real Neat' will fill your border, rockery or container with a copious supply of pristine daisies.Strong-stemmed blooms stretch above deciduous, dark green foliage between June and August. These beguiling, double flowers offer generous frills of rolled, white petals around an attractive, egg-yellow eye. Your garden comes alive with activity when bees and butterflies visit to explore these nectar-rich blooms.The clump-forming habit of your plant proves to be a good source of weed-supressing ground cover. Your leucanthemum's classic blooms make a lovely addition to your vases. Cutting back flower stems to the base when the blooms are spent also encourages a vigorous display.Choose an east, south or west-facing location with moist, well-drained soil for this hardy, drought-tolerant perennial. Full or part sunshine will also encourage your Shasta daisy to flourish. In 2-5 years, your leucanthemum superbum will reach a maximum height and spread of 50cm by 50cm.
