Leucanthemella serotina

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates part shade. Tolerates moist conditions better than most leucanthemums.

Leucanthemella is a bushy, upright, clump-forming perennial which features large, daisy-like white flowers (to 3" across) with greenish-yellow centers in late summer to autumn. Flowers appear singly or in sprays (loose corymbs) on rigid stems typically rising to 3-5' tall (less frequently to 7'). Lance-shaped to elliptic, coarsely toothed, dark green leaves (3-5" long). Synonymous with Chrysanthemum serotinum and Chrysanthemum uliginosum.
