Leucanthemum Realflor® 'Real Jewel' Shasta Daisy

Leucanthemum Realflor® 'Real Jewel' is a charming petite perennial that reaches about 16 inches in height and spreads 14 inches wide. This floriferous Shasta daisy variety brings bright, sunny yellow blooms to the garden in early to midsummer, with an encore in fall. Each flower showcases three layers of delicately frilled rays surrounding a deep golden-yellow center, held aloft on strong stems with elegant, mid-green foliage. As they mature, the blooms transition to warm cream tones, attracting butterflies and other pollinators while adding long-lasting color to both the garden and cut-flower arrangements.

This Leucanthemum superbum cultivar, also known as Shasta daisy, forms a compact, mound-like shape that naturally resists the need for staking. Known for its classic appeal, 'Real Jewel' is a perfect fit for modern landscapes, whether in containers, patio pots, or perennial borders.

Easy to grow and care for, 'Real Jewel' Shasta daisy thrives in a sunny location with well-drained soil and tolerates dry to medium moisture levels. This resilient plant handles high heat and humidity better than most varieties, making it an excellent choice for warmer climates. For best results, fertilize in spring and trim back after summer's blooms to encourage fresh growth and a delightful fall display.
