About this plant
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Real Charmer' is a stunning Shasta daisy variety known for its unique, semi-double flowers that bloom from early to late summer.

'Real Charmer' is a hybrid developed through selective breeding to enhance flower form and color. Its extended blooming season and vibrant, multi-toned petals make it a popular choice for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and sunny perennial beds.

Design tip
The long summer show pairs well with plants that peak earlier, keeping one area interesting for months. In full sun it holds its shape best, and grouping several together keeps the color strong enough to be seen from across the garden.
