Leucanthemum ‘Snowcap’ is perfect for adding brightness and structure to sunny borders, cottage gardens and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Its compact habit makes it particularly useful towards the front of borders, where the crisp white flowers combine beautifully with Salvias, Achilleas, Geraniums and Ornamental Grasses. The long-lasting blooms are also excellent for cutting, bringing a classic cottage garden feel to floral arrangements.
Easy to grow and dependable, Leucanthemum ‘Snowcap’ thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and requires little maintenance beyond regular deadheading to encourage continued flowering. Its compact growth habit means it rarely requires staking, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance planting schemes.

As a guide when planting Leucanthemum ‘Snowcap’ in borders, allow 7-9 plants per square metre for good coverage, or plant in groups to create bright drifts of daisy flowers that illuminate the garden throughout summer.
