Description
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Real Neat' is a variety of large daisy with an unusual shape. The stems are sturdy and the flowers are unique. The channelled petals spread out towards their tips and are arranged in a double crown with a very structured graphic effect, surrounding a large heart of solid gold that becomes mustard-coloured over time. The flowering takes place throughout the summer in damp soil. It is a disease-resistant plant that is easy to grow, suitable for full sun or partial shade. The flowers last a long time in bouquets and in flower beds.
The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the Asteraceae family. 'Real Neat' is a horticultural hybrid obtained in England from Leucanthemum x superbum, the well-known large daisy. It is a variety that is particularly disease-resistant. It forms a very compact clump, wider than it is tall, measuring approximately 40 cm (16in) in height and spreading over 50 cm (20in), with a moderately fast growth rate. It is opulent in summer and completely disappears in winter. The flowering takes place from July to October, in the form of large solitary heads 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, with beautifully channelled white ligules, fused at the base and opening towards their tips. The flower stems are particularly sturdy and perfect for cutting. The leaves are dark green, simple and alternate with a regularly dentate edge. The plant reaches full maturity in five years.
This summer daisy, perfect for making bouquets, will be ideal in flower beds or in a meadow under fruit trees or at the back of the garden. Pair its ruffled flowering with that of cosmos, mix it with peonies, blue lupins, or bellflowers. The rustic appearance of this new variety will reminds you of your grandmothers' garden while adding a contemporary touch with its unusual flowers.

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).

- 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.
