Leucanthemella serotina
Autumn Ox-Eye, Giant Daisy, High Daisy
A mixed experience. The plant itself is beautiful, hardy, and promises an interesting late flowering. But given the state it arrived in, it’s hard to enjoy it fully. The first order had been flawless, which gave me confidence to reorder. Unfortunately, the second delivery was pitiful: damaged young plants, very disappointing quality. I sent photos as proof, and I was offered a credit of 3 or 4 euros on a 70-euro order… Needless to say, that doesn’t compensate for anything. Now I don’t even dare use that credit, for fear of receiving more plants in poor condition. Very disappointed.

Description
Leucanthemella serotina, also known as late-flowering ox-eye daisy or late leucanthemum, is a large deciduous perennial, with a slightly upright habit. It flowers at the end of summer with slightly loose bouquets of large white flowers with golden hearts. It blooms until October. Its strong stems do not require staking and easily withstand strong winds. This plant is very hardy and can grow in any ordinary, moist soil, in full sun.
Leucanthemella serotina belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to southeastern and central Europe, from the Balkans to the Caucasus. It has been introduced and naturalised in temperate zones around the world. It was formerly known as Chrysanthemum uliginosum due to its preference for wet meadows where it can be found in the wild, sometimes in large colonies. It has an upright, bushy clump-forming habit, reaching a minimum height of 150cm (59in) with a diameter of 80cm (32in). This large daisy has sturdy stems that remain upright even in wind or heavy rain. The flowers are large white daisies with golden yellow hearts. They appear in large loose clusters at the end of summer. The foliage is deciduous, light green, with lanceolate and dentate leaves measuring up to 12cm (5in) in length.
It will find its place in borders, alongside other tall, slightly wild plants such as giant scabious, late-flowering asters (smooth aster, ageratoid aster, and goldilocks aster), and Japanese anemones, and Polygonum microcephalum. Often given as reaching 1.5m (5ft), it can actually reach, and often exceed, 2m (7ft) in height. It is often planted in the shade at the edge of the woods, which is not its preferred condition. It accompanies cimicifuga, autumn monkshoods, and strobilanthes, with which it blooms together. To hide the yellowing basal leaves that often occur before the end of flowering, lower-growing perennials such as perennial chrysanthemums ('Chinese Emperor'), Cerastostigma willmottianum, or Knautia macedonica can be used. It can also be planted near water bodies, where it will find the natural conditions it prefers.

Planting and care
Leucanthemella serotina appreciates moisture for its roots, which will allow it to withstand periods of high heat. However, it requires good drainage. This large daisy only fears prolonged drought. It is the only chrysanthemum that grows in the clay soil of our garden, without any special modifications or amendments. One could even say that it thrives best in rich, heavy soil - but without stagnant water. It is not without reason that it is named the marsh chrysanthemum!

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
