Daisies (Leucanthemum)
Cheerful, unpretentious, and remarkably hardy meadow flowers.
Overview
Cheerful, entirely unpretentious, and remarkably hardy, daisies are the quintessential meadow flower that instantly brightens any landscape. With their crisp, snow-white petals and bright, sunny yellow centers, they provide excellent visual contrast in mixed perennial borders and are absolutely outstanding as long-lasting cut flowers for indoor rustic arrangements. They are aggressive, fast growers that will quickly and reliably fill in empty garden spaces, returning vigorously year after year. Their flat-topped blooms serve as ideal landing pads, attracting countless beneficial pollinators like butterflies and hoverflies to your backyard ecosystem. Highly recommended for absolute beginners establishing their first perennial beds.
Care Instructions
- Light: Full sun is highly recommended to keep stems strong and upright.
- Water: Moderate water needs. They are resilient once established.
