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.

Planting and care
Plant your Leucanthemum in deep, loose, moist, or occasionally dry soil, that is not too rich, but well-drained. This plant tolerates limestone perfectly. It thrives in a sunny, or at the most semi-shaded, position. It can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). Regularly remove faded flowers and remove dead foliage in spring. This daisy can be attacked by aphids, snails and may have 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.
