Good plant #89 - Leucanthemum Vulgare


My favourite short-lived perennial weed. It's hard not like the look of this native plant. It's the classic daisy. You will see it growing all over the place. Looks great in meadow or prairie planting schemes.

It prefers sun and will send up more flowers in a moderately fertile soil compared to poor soil.

The plant's biggest downside is it self seeds prolifically. Remove the flower heads unless you want your whole garden covered by this plant.
