Description

A cross between L. maximum' and L. lacustre' producing an upright perennial growing to 1m.

Leucanthemum x superbum `Phyllis Smith` is a frilly-flowered leucanthemum that is worthy of a place in any cotagge-style garden. The new growth begins in early spring as the new shoots emerge from the ground. By July, the plant is 1,5 metres high and by the end of that month, the flowers begin to open, revealing the pure white petals with egg-yolk yellow centres
