Leucanthemum maximum, commonly known as Max Chrysanthemum, is a garden favorite that adds a touch of elegance to any landscape. Renowned for its large, sparkling white flowers with radiant yellow centers, this perennial thrives wherever it's planted, offering a dazzling display from July to August. With lush, dark green leaves on sturdy, tall stems, Max Chrysanthemum is perfect for borders or grouped bunches, providing a striking contrast to its surroundings.

This robust and vigorous species, native to France and Spain, can also be found thriving in various climates across zones 4a to 6b. For optimal growth, plant in full sun and moderately rich soil. While direct sowing in late fall ensures early spring germination, starting seeds indoors boosts chances for first-year blooms. Maintain temperatures between 70–75°F for germination, then lower to 65°F for thriving plants.

This remarkable species was pivotal in creating the beloved Shasta Daisy hybrid, Leucanthemum × superbum. Unleash the Max Chrysanthemum's beauty in your garden and enjoy its timeless charm.
