Leucanthemum 'Luna'

Leucanthemum 'Luna' is a compact Shasta daisy with double pom-pom flowers that open yellow, shift through two-toned yellow, and finish white. The [Terra Nova cultivar profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/leucanthemum-luna/) lists its size, bloom timing, and hardiness. The flowers rise above a dense upright mound of green foliage and bring a changing summer display to sunny borders. ### Size and placement Terra Nova lists a typical garden size near 19 inches tall and wide, with flower stems reaching about 22 inches. Plant in full sun in average, well-drained soil; the compact form fits mixed beds, mass plantings, containers, and the front of a border. The breeder lists USDA zones 5 through 9. ### Seasonal interest Flowers are produced in June, July, and August. The changing flower color gives the planting several stages of interest, and the stems can be cut for indoor arrangements. Green foliage goes dormant in winter, so the plant returns from its perennial root system when growth resumes. ## Maintenance Keep soil evenly watered while plants establish and during prolonged dry periods, allowing excess water to drain away. Remove spent flower stems when practical to keep the planting tidy. Leave healthy foliage in place until it dies back naturally, then clear it during seasonal cleanup.
