Leucanthemum
''Leucanthemum'' is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. Species range naturally from Europe through the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Siberia to the Russian Far East. Some species are known on other continents as introduced species, and some are cultivated as ornamental plants. The name ''Leucanthemum'' derives from the Greek words ''λευκός – leukos'' ("white") and ''ἄνθεμον – anthemon'' ("flower"). Common names for ''Leucanthemum'' species usually include the name daisy (e.g. ox-eye daisy, Shasta daisy), but " daisy" can also refer to numerous other genera in the Asteraceae family. Description ''Leucanthemum'' species are perennial plants growing from red-tipped rhizomes. The plant produces one erect stem usually reaching 40 to 130 centimeters tall, but known to exceed 2 meters at times. It is branching or unbranched and hairy to hairless. Some species have mainly basal leaves, and some have leaves along the stem, as well. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leucanthemum × Superbum
''Leucanthemum'' × ''superbum'', the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy ''Leucanthemum vulgare'' Lam, but larger. It originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed ''Leucanthemum vulgare'' with '' Leucanthemum maximum''; this double hybrid was itself crossed with '' Leucanthemum lacustre''.Ruth Rogers Clausen and Thomas Christopher.
