Leucanthemum (Shasta Daisy) 'Madonna'
 
(Formerly Chrysanthemum maximum) No sunny border would seem complete without the familiar presence of Shasta Daisies. Uniform in height and habit, this variety exhibits excellent tolerance to summer heat and humidity. Flowers are the classic, large single white daisies with a yellow eye, valued in the garden and excellent for cutting. Divide plants every 2 to 3 years to maintain vigour. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly increase the blooming time. May require staking if grown in rich soil. Attractive to butterflies.
