Leucanthemum x superbum ‘Victorian Secret’ | Victorian Secret Shasta Daisy
DESCRIPTION
Leucanthemum × superbum ‘Victorian Secret’ is a unique cultivar of Shasta daisy, distinguished by its profusion of semi-double white blooms that creates a fuller, more ruffled flower compared to the typical single-layered blooms of the species.
