Description
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Shapcott Gossamer' is a recent variety of large daisy, particularly hardy, with unique flowers resembling sparse and somewhat disheveled pompoms. Its heads have a slightly tousled appearance, as they are composed of an infinity of thread-like white petals, more or less undisciplined, arranged around a large golden centre that gradually turns mustard yellow. This tall perennial with a light appearance blooms all summer in the sun, in damp soil. It is a disease-resistant perennial plant, easy to grow and does not require staking. The flowers last a long time in bouquets and in flower beds.
The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the aster family. 'Shapcott Gossamer' is a horticultural hybrid obtained in England from Leucanthemum x superbum, the large daisy that we know well. It is a creation that proves to be particularly hardy, beyond -20°C (-4°F), sturdy against the wind and resistant to diseases. It forms a very compact clump, taller than wide. It measures about 60 cm (24in) in height and spreads over 50 cm (20in), with a moderately fast growth. Opulent in summer, it completely disappears in winter. The flowering takes place from July to October, in the form of large solitary heads measuring 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, with gracefully frayed white petals. The flower stems are particularly strong and perfect for cutting. The leaves are dark green, simple and alternate with a regularly toothed edge. The plant reaches full maturity in five years.
This summer daisy, which is very suitable for making bouquets, will be perfect in a flower bed or in a meadow under fruit trees or at the back of the garden. Accompany its tousled flowering with that of cosmos, mix it with grasses, asters, peonies, blue lupins or bellflowers. The countryside allure of this new variety will remind you of your grandmothers' garden while adding a touch of romance, with its flowers whose delicate structure is truly poetic.

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.
