Plant / Flower ID Please
Hi,
I sowed these last year (but have lost the seed packet) from memory these were a Biennial plant (plant year one and flowers in year two) We did get some flowers last year but now have loads of blooms to look foward too this year. They now stand at about 20 - 24 inchs high and look very much like a Daisy plant but just not 100% sure - could anyone help to ID this plant please. |

Could these possibly be Shasta Daisy? The height seems about right plus like the ones needing ID Shasta are also hardy perennials?

Per Stace, Leucanthemum vulgare (which it looks rather like) can reach 30 inches. But if they came from a seed packet they could be Shasta daisy (Leucantheum x superbum). But the leaf serration in the photographs, if I read Stace correctly, suggests Leucanthemum vulgare. Stace says that the autumn flowering Leucanthemella serotina be distinguished from Leucanthemum x superbum from the lack of the distinctive smell of the latter's crushed foliage. While there are plants that I identify by odour (Ballota nigra, Geranium robertianum, Tanacetum parthenum, Tanacetum vulgare, Matricaria recutita) I've never thought to try it with Leucanthemum. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Thanks for the replys, just to be sure I have ordered both sets of seeds
Also I read somewhere that's it's best to divided the plant every 3 - 4 years to keep the plant vigorous and also to cut them back hard so that they are 2 - 3 inches above the soil during the winter months. |
