Leucanthemum maximum, commonly known as the Max chrysanthemum, is a robust, clump-forming perennial native to the Pyrenees. It features upright stems clad in dark green, lance-shaped, serrated foliage. In mid to late summer, it produces large, iconic white flowers with prominent yellow centers that attract various pollinators. This versatile plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil and is ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, and as a long-lasting cut flower.
