Leucanthemum x superbum 'Esther Read'

Leucanthemum x superbum 'Esther Read' is an old variety of shasta daisy, bearing fully double pure white flowers with a soft yellow centre. It’s perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border and makes an excellent cut flower.

Grow Leucanthemum x superbum 'Esther Read’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and cut back completely in late-autumn. Divide clumps every three years to maintain vigour.

Bear in mind that all leucanthemums can be toxic to dogs and cats if ingested, but symptoms are usually mild.
