Leucanthemum Realflor® 'Real Solar' Shasta Daisy

Leucanthemum Realflor® 'Real Solar' is a compact perennial that reaches approximately 16 inches tall and 14 inches wide, bringing vibrant color and charm to garden spaces. Blooming profusely from early to midsummer, with a second round of blooms in the fall, 'Real Solar' showcases 3-inch banana-yellow flowers with intricate, frilled petals arranged in three layers around a golden center. These blooms, supported by strong stems and framed by elegant mid-green foliage, age gracefully through soft cream tones and attract pollinators like butterflies, making them an excellent choice for cutting gardens.

This Leucanthemum superbum cultivar, also known as Shasta daisy, has a neat, mounded form that withstands wind and doesn't require staking. Known for its timeless appeal, the Shasta daisy is as well-loved in today's gardens as it was a century ago. 'Real Solar' shines in garden beds, borders, containers, and patio pots, offering a modern twist on a classic favorite.

Hardy and low-maintenance, 'Real Solar' thrives in a sunny location with well-drained soil and is tolerant of dry to medium moisture levels. This variety boasts enhanced disease resistance and is drought-tolerant once established, making it especially durable in diverse climates. For optimal performance, fertilize in spring and trim back after the summer bloom to promote new growth and a repeat fall display.
