Leucanthemum x superbum (Bergmans ex J. W. Ingram) D. H. Kent
The inflorescence of the Shasta daisy is a capitulum ranging from 4 to 12 cm in diameter. Based on their structure, they are classified as single, anemone-centered, semi-double, and double.
In the reference 22 varieties crop Shasta daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.
The primary quantitative characteristic of the inflorescence is the diameter of the capitulum, which varies from 4 to 5 cm in compact forms to 10–12 cm in large-flowered cultivars. The structural type of the inflorescence significantly influences the ornamental characteristics and overall appearance of the plant.
Inflorescence size and peduncle strength determine a cultivar's suitability for cutting and its vase life. Large and heavy inflorescences often require the installation of support stakes to prevent stem lodging under their own weight or due to wind exposure.
Agronomic maintenance includes the timely removal of spent capitula, which is a key factor in stimulating the formation of new buds and ensuring prolonged flowering throughout the season.
