Leucanthemum x superbum (Bergmans ex J. W. Ingram) D. H. Kent

An important varietal characteristic of Leucanthemum x superbum, determined by stem strength and the ability of inflorescences to remain fresh in water for up to a week.

In the reference 21 varieties crop Shasta daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.

Shasta daisy is valued as a cut flower crop due to its strong, upright stems, which are convenient for creating floral arrangements. With proper preparation, including the removal of lower foliage, inflorescences that are more than half open retain their decorative qualities in a vase for up to seven days.

Distinctive features of the crop include the large size of the inflorescences and high physical stem strength, which exceeds that of many small-flowered species. When used in enclosed spaces, the specific scent of the plants should be taken into account, and for commercial purposes, it is recommended to select breeding lines with improved stem resistance.
