Bring a classic cottage-garden charm to your outdoor space with this set of three Leucanthemum x superbum 'Madonna' plants. Known for its stunning, fully double white blooms with a soft, creamy centre, Madonna is a compact and free-flowering Shasta Daisy that delivers an abundance of flowers throughout the summer months. Each plant is supplied as an established, outdoor-ready specimen in a 1 litre pot, perfect for planting straight into borders, beds, or containers.
Madonna is a particularly tidy and well-behaved variety, forming neat clumps of dark green foliage that remain attractive even when not in flower. The pristine white, pompon-like blooms are excellent for cutting and look wonderful in a vase, holding their shape and freshness for days. As a reliable herbaceous perennial, it will return year after year, gradually forming larger, more impressive clumps over time.
