Leucanthemum x superbum ‘Victorian Secret’

Victorian Secret Shasta Daisy

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. Blooming from late spring to early summer, 'Victorian Secret' offers a delicate, elegant display that works well in garden beds, borders, and as a cut flower.

The plant is drought-tolerant once established and resistant to pests and diseases, making it low-maintenance and adaptable to a variety of garden settings.

Design tip

Foliage and form do most of the work here, so lean on texture and repetition rather than one flowering moment. In full sun it holds its shape best, and grouping several together keeps the color strong enough to be seen from across the garden.
