Description
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Brightside' is a large daisy in the same vein as 'Becky', but bushier and with even stronger stems. Very branched, bearing large white flowers with bright yellow centres, the plant resembles a very large bouquet in summer. It is an excellent garden perennial, a versatile and trouble-free plant that will not disappoint, even for novice gardeners. Well suited to slightly moist, clay and heavy soil, it is one of those summer queens, with a charming and childlike appeal, essential in a flower garden as well as in wildflower bouquets.
The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the Asteraceae family. 'Brightside' is one of the many hybrids of Leucanthemum x superbum, the well-known Shasta Daisy. It is a variety that is particularly hardy, to-20°C (-4°F), strong, floriferous, vigorous, robust, and disease-resistant. It grows rapidly, forming a dense, more tall than wide, ball-shaped clump in a few years. It measures about 80 cm (32in) in height and its stump occupies 40 cm (16in). Lush in summer, it completely disappears in winter. Flowering occurs from June to September, in the form of large solitary heads measuring 7 to 8 cm (3in) in diameter, composed of white ligules surrounding a large centre of tubular florets in chrome yellow. The floral stems are numerous and particularly strong: they do not require staking and are perfect for cutting. The leaves are matt dark green, simple and alternate with a regularly dentate edge. The plant reaches full maturity in five years. The above-ground vegetation is deciduous and dries up in autumn and regrows in spring.
This lovely summer daisy Brightside, ideal for making bouquets, will be perfect in a border or wildflower meadow, beneath fruit trees or at the edges of the garden. Pair its somewhat simple flowers with that of poppies, blue thistles, phlox, and delphiniums. Combine it with grasses, asters, peonies, blue lupins, or bellflowers. The rustic appearance and intrepid nature of this robust variety remind us of our grandmothers' unpretentious, yet abundantly blooming garden, adding the pleasure of a prolonged summer flowering. Daisies beautifully complement old roses and lilies in bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant Leucanthemum x superbum 'Brightside' in deep, loose, moist but not too dry soil, even clay soil which is well-prepared. This plant tolerates limestone perfectly. It thrives in a sunny, at most partially shaded, position and withstands temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). Regularly remove faded flowers and clear the plant in spring to remove dead foliage. This daisy can be attacked by aphids, snails, and may develop some foliar spots if the growing conditions are not optimal. Daisies can be propagated by division in autumn or early spring.

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.
