Leucanthemum vulgare ‘Maikönigin’ Description

Leucanthemum vulgare ‘Maikönigin’, often translated as May Queen, is an early-flowering selection of ox-eye daisy. Upright stems carry simple white daisy flowers with bright yellow centres from late spring into summer above narrow green foliage. It has a looser, more naturalistic habit than many modern Shasta daisies and generally reaches around 60 to 80cm high. Grow in full sun in ordinary, well-drained soil and avoid excessive feeding, which can encourage floppy growth. It is fully hardy and well suited to Irish meadow gardens, cottage borders and wildlife planting. Bees, hoverflies and other insects visit the flowers readily. Deadhead to prolong flowering or leave selected seed heads where some natural self-seeding is acceptable.
