Description
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Becky' is a large, vigorous and sturdy daisy with big white flowers and bright yellow centres. It is essentially a variety with the same health as the wild species that blooms in June in our countryside, but with more spectacular flowering that lasts into summer. It is an excellent garden perennial, a versatile and carefree plant that won't disappoint, even for beginner gardeners. It thrives in well-prepared which is not too dry, even clay and heavy soil and is one of those summer queens, with a charming and essential presence in flower gardens and wild bouquets.
The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the Asteraceae family. 'Becky' is a horticultural hybrid with many qualities that earned it the title of 'Perennial Plant of the Year 2003' awarded by the Perennial Plant Association in the USA. It is derived from Leucanthemum x superbum, the well-known large daisy. It is particularly hardy (beyond -20°C), strong, floriferous, vigorous and disease-resistant. It forms a dense clump, taller than wide. It measures approximately 80 cm (32in) in height and spreads over 50 cm (20in), with a fairly rapid growth. Opulent in summer, it completely disappears in winter. It blooms from June to August, in the form of large solitary heads measuring 7 to 8 cm (3in) in diameter, composed of white ligules surrounding a centre of tubular florets in chrome yellow. The flower stems are numerous and strong: they do not require staking and are perfect for cutting. The leaves are dark green, simple and alternate with regularly toothed edges. The plant reaches full maturity in five years.
This summer daisy, perfect for bouquets, will be ideal in flower beds or wild meadows, under fruit trees or at the boundaries of the garden. Pair its somewhat simple flowers with poppies, blue thistles, paniculate phlox and delphiniums. Mix it with grasses, asters, peonies, blue lupins or bellflowers. The rustic look and intrepid nature of this robust variety remind us of our grandmothers' unpretentious yet beautifully flowered gardens, while adding the pleasure of prolonged summer flowers. Daisies are a beautiful accompaniment to old roses and lilies in bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant Leucanthemum x superbum 'Becky' in deep, loose, moderately moist soil, even clay, which is well-prepared. This plant tolerates limestone perfectly. It thrives in a sunny position, or at the most a semi-shaded position. It can withstand temperatures below -20°C (-4°F). Regularly remove faded flowers and clear away dead foliage in spring. This daisy can be attacked by aphids, snails, and may show some foliar spots if growing conditions are not optimal. Daisies can be propagated by division in autumn or early spring.
The Oxeye Daisy can be attacked by aphids, slugs and snails, earwigs, chrysanthemum nematode, and may eventually show some foliar spots.

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).
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 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
