Description

Leucanthemum x superbum 'Aglaia' is a very beautiful variety of large daisy with a very modern style, appreciated for its multitude of flowers, the uniqueness of its flowering and its robustness. The plant forms a compact clump, ideal for decorating small spaces, and offers double and tousled flower heads. The ligules, sparkling white and very fringed, surround a small yellow central disc. Unique, light and seductive flowers, enhanced by the arrival of butterflies from July to September. This sturdy perennial easily thrives in any soil that is not too dry, in a sunny or semi-shaded locations. Its flowers are superb in bouquets.

 

The genus Leucanthemum belongs to the aster family. 'Aglaia' is a horticultural hybrid originating from Leucanthemum x superbum, the well-known large daisy. This variety forms a compact and bushy clump, taller than wide, measuring 60 to 70 cm (24 to 28in) in height and spreading over 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in), with moderately fast growth. It forms a clump composed of numerous stems with small, deciduous leaves, originating from a large basal rosette. The flowering occurs from July to September, in the form of large solitary heads measuring 9 cm (4in) in diameter, with pure white ligulate flowers that are finely and strongly fringed, with a frayed appearance.  These are arranged in multiple crowns around a discreet yellow centre. The basal leaves are dark green, alternate with a regularly toothed edge, and are almost fleshy. The plant reaches its full maturity in three to five years and can live for several years. It is recommended to regularly divide this relatively short-lived variety.

 
This summer daisy, which is very suitable for making bouquets, will be perfect in a country-style border or in a natural garden, in a meadow under fruit trees or at the back of the garden. 'Aglaia' is a reliable choice, and its sparkling flowers are among the whitest that can be found among Leucanthemum. In daisies, one does not find extravagant colours, but it is the structure of the flowers that stands out. Accompany these flowers with that of cosmos, combine them with peonies, columbines, asters, blue lupins, campanulas or snapdragons, for example. Be creative with this flower, in the garden or in a vase in the house, to produce a delightful and unique display.

Planting and care

Plant the Shasta Daisy 'Aglaia' in ordinary but deep soil, which is well prepared and preferably enriched with humus, and is moist but not too dry in spring and autumn. To achieve good drainage, add a little loamy sand to the planting substrate. This plant does not have any particular requirement for soil pH. It will thrive in a sunny position but also tolerates semi-shade. It can withstand temperatures down to -29°C (-20.2°F). Remove dead foliage in spring. This daisy can sometimes be attacked by aphids, snails, and may have foliar spots, without threatening its survival. Divide the clumps every 5 years to regenerate the plant.
