Leucanthemum x superbum Sonnenschein
Shasta Daisy
First order on Promesse de fleurs, on a Monday at 11:00 am, arrived on Wednesday at 10:30 am. Young plants well-rooted and vigorous in their pots. Perennials ordered at the beginning of October (this might explain it... no opinion on spring young plants). Out of a total of 24 plants ordered, no "weak" plants like on most other online selling sites. Very well packaged, no risk with unreliable carriers. It promises a beautiful flowerbed for next summer.

Description
Leucanthemum superbum Sonnenschein is a variety of Daisy that bears, on sturdy stems, adorned with charming flowers with lemon yellow petals turning creamy over time. It is a very bright Daisy that stands out from the ordinary, and it is equally superb in borders or bouquets.
Leucanthemum superbum Sonnenschein is a horticultural hybrid obtained from Leucanthemum x superbum and belongs to the Asteraceae family. Its uniqueness lies in its colour: its flowers are composed of lemon yellow petals arranged around a golden yellow centre. This colour can be more or less intense and can turn creamy more or less quickly depending on the position. To preserve its colours for as long as possible, it is advisable to protect it from excessive sun.
Beautiful in summer, this perennial completely disappears in winter. The flowering takes place from June to September, in the form of large solitary heads measuring 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter. Its leaves are dark green, single and alternate with regularly dentate edges.
It is a disease-resistant and easy-to-grow plant, which you can place in non-burning sun or partial shade. It is undemanding in terms of soil and can adapt to any soil as long as it is well-drained.
Leucanthemum x superbum Sonnenschein forms a beautiful clump, slightly wider than tall, reaching approximately 80 cm (32in) in height and 60 cm (24in) in width. It is a hardy perennial, to -15°C (5°F), with moderately fast growth, reaching its full maturity in five years.
In the garden, this summer daisy will be perfect in borders as its flowers last a long time. Combine it with beautiful daffodils, Lady's Mantle, and for a striking contrast, with purple perennials like Knautia macedonica Thunder and Lightning, Allium sphaerocephalon, or Garnet Yarrow.

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.
