Leucanthemum ‘Sugar Bowl’
This Leucanthemum couldn't get any sweeter! The abundant multi-layered pure white flowers completely cover the foliage. Low to the ground but tight, heavy branching creates an extended bloom time with successive flowers opening on top of previous blooms. Wide base but petite habit lends itself well to sunny borders, up front and center in beds, or great for mixed containers.
