RHS / Katy Prentice 
Appearance
Producing lots of white or pale yellow daisy flowers over a long period in summer, they form bushy, low-growing, robust plants, usually 15–25cm (6–10in) tall. They are grown as annuals in the UK, and generally die in late autumn.
Preferences
Annual leucanthemums like full sun and will grow in most garden soils that drain easily.
Dislikes
They do not like permanently wet or excessively dry soils, and will not flower well in shade.
Did you know?
Like many other daisies, the flowers of annual leucanthemums close up when the skies are overcast, opening again once the sun shines on them.
