Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Grown best in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading of spent blossoms extends bloom time. Trimming back stems after flowering to 12" will also encourage reblooming. An application of all purpose fertilizer is recommended in the spring, as leucanthemum prefers a rich soil for best blooming.

An "old time" favorite! Long lasting, cheerful blooms begin in the summer and continue for months. Most varieties are white or cream and have bright yellow centers. Depending on variety, flowers can be single, semi-double and double. Excellent cutting flowers.
