Description
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Petite Princesse d'Argent' is a low-growing version of the large daisy that we have always loved, with large, simple flowers, white with a yellow centre, carried by a plant that will not exceed 30 cm in all directions, resistant to wind. This hardy and sturdy perennial forms a beautiful bouquet of stems and dark leaves, flowering from July to September, animated by the flight of pollinating insects. Very easy to grow, for sun or partial shade, delightful in borders and bouquets.
The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the Asteraceae family. 'Petite Princesse d'Argent' is a horticultural hybrid obtained from Leucanthemum (x) superbum, the large daisy that we are familiar with. This variety forms a bushy clump, as tall as it is wide, measuring approximately 30cm in all directions, with moderately fast growth. It forms an opulent clump of numerous leafy stems, deciduous. The flowering takes place from July to October, provided that faded flowers are regularly removed. They take the form of solitary heads, 7cm in diameter, with thin and flat white ligules arranged in a single crown around a golden yellow heart. The leaves are long, dark green, simple and alternate. They are lanceolate with a regularly toothed edge, almost fleshy. Their surface is glabrous. The plant reaches full maturity in five years and can live for many years.
This summer daisy, so suitable for making bouquets, will be perfect in a wildflower meadow or in a natural garden, in a flower meadow under fruit trees, or at the back of the garden. While we are not talking about extravagant colours here, we emphasize instead the constancy, robustness and floriferousness of these "simple" flowers that will bring real structure to low borders, but also in fresh rockeries. Accompany its flowering with that of echinaceas, mix it with asters, perennial flax, autumn daisies, peonies, blue lupins or bellflowers. Create a charming and simple bouquet with this flower, in the garden or in a vase in the house.

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.
