Leucanthemum ‘Luna’

Proves the moon is out! Showy, pom-poms of double flowers rest atop a dense, upright, mound of foliage. Flowers bloom yellow, then gradually change to a two-toned yellow and finally finish white. Flowers stay yellow for two weeks or longer in Oregon, unlike other “yellows” that fade in a matter of days. Use in mixed beds and mass plantings.
