    Wonderful! 4-5" orange-centered lemon-yellow (maturing white) daisies are profusely borne on compact 18" mounds for prairie/container/cottage garden and for cut flowers... look fresh after 2 weeks in a vase!; love it! S/M PPAF

    Leucanthemum 'Banana Cream' has four inch wide flowers that are lemon yellow when they open, brightening to light butter yellow and finally to creamy white as they mature. An extra row of ray petals gives the flowers of this shasta daisy a fuller appearance than truly single varieties. Since it produces flower buds at each axillary shoot, 'Banana Cream' blooms prolifically all summer long atop strong, upright stems. Flowers last for weeks in a vase.

    Cheery bright lemon yellow flowers emerge in summer will mature to a soft white. Excellent long lasting cut flower. Deadhead to extend bloom time.
