Leucanthemum ‘Madonna’ Description

Leucanthemum ‘Madonna’ is a compact Shasta daisy producing numerous classic white flowers with bright golden-yellow centres above dark green foliage. Its relatively restrained habit makes it useful near the front of mixed borders, in cottage gardens and in large containers. Flowering occurs through summer and can be extended by removing spent blooms regularly. Grow in full sun in fertile soil that remains reasonably moist but drains freely. It is hardy and straightforward in Irish gardens, although very wet winter ground can shorten the life of the crown. The flowers attract bees, hoverflies and other pollinating insects. Cut faded stems back to fresh growth during summer and divide older congested clumps in spring or autumn when flowering begins to decline.
