ëBeaute Nivelloise is a vigorous Shasta daisy cultivar that grows on strong stems to 30î tall. Each flower features masses of very narrow frilly white petals that twist and curl around a small yellow center. Flowers bloom from late spring into summer. Coarsely-toothed, lance-shaped, medium green leaves. Leucanthemum was formerly included in the genus Chrysanthemum.
- Full sun
- Dry to medium
- Medium
Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Good drainage is essential. Wet soils in winter can be fatal. Tolerates some light shade, particularly in hot summer climates. Remove spent flower heads to promote additional bloom. A less floriferous late summer to early fall bloom may occur. Divide clumps as needed (every 2-3 years) to maintain vigor. Plants may be somewhat short-lived. Consider cutting stems back to basal leaves after flowering to preserve plant energies and perhaps prolong plant life.
