Commonly known as Autumn Ox Eye, Leucanthemella serotina is a robust perennial with a columnar habit. During late autumn, white daisy-like blooms with yellow centres appear. Oblong to lance-shaped leaves with toothed margins smother the tall upright stems, as late autumn approaches the leaves turn to a beautiful golden yellow.
Plant in either sun or partial shade in a moist but well-drained soil. A mulch in winter will help keep this plant in tip top condition. This is an excellent plant for cutting gardens or the back of your flower borders, where ever you plant Leucanthemella its flowers will always turn to face the sun.
