Description
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Shapcott Summer Clouds' is a variety of Shasta Daisy introduced in 2014, particularly robust and hardy, as they were once appreciated in cottage gardens. Well-suited to moist, even clayey and heavy soil, requiring no staking, it offers a long summer flowering in the form of slightly ruffled heads, composed of countless thread-like white florets, arranged in a thick crown around a lemon yellow centre. Oxeye daisies are among the queens of summer, with their innocent charm, essential in flower gardens as well as in wildflower bouquets.
The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the aster family. 'Shapcott Summer Clouds' is a recently obtained horticultural hybrid in England, still relatively rare in cultivation. It originates from Leucanthemum x superbum, the well-known Shasta Daisy. It is particularly hardy (beyond -20°C (1°F)), sturdy against the wind and resistant to diseases. It forms a very compact clump, taller than it is wide. It measures about 60cm (24in) in height and spreads over 50cm (20in), with moderately fast growth. Opulent in summer, it disappears completely in winter. Flowering takes place from July to September, in the form of large solitary heads, 5 to 7cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, with numerous gracefully frayed white ligules. The floral stems are particularly sturdy and perfect for cutting. The leaves are dark green, simple and alternate with regularly dentate edges. The plant reaches full maturity in five years.
This summer daisy, suitable for making bouquets, will be perfect in a border or in a meadow beneath fruit trees or at the edges of the garden. Pair its ruffled flowering with that of cosmos, paniculate phlox and delphiniums, mix it with grasses, asters, peonies, blue lupins or bellflowers. The rustic charm of this new variety reminds us of our grandmothers' gardens while adding a touch of coyness, with its flowers resembling charming large pompons. Daisies beautifully complement old roses and lilies in bouquets.

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.
