Long Island is full of these lovely Montauk daisies and all in bloom this time of the year.

Almost everywhere you look these are in bloom now,

Indeed Long Island smiles with our Montauk Daisies.

Leucanthemum × superbum, the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, but larger. It originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed Leucanthemum vulgare with Leucanthemum maximum (Ramond) DC.; this double hybrid was itself crossed with Leucanthemum lacustre (Brot.) Samp. The resulting Leucanthemum triple hybrid was crossed with Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Franch. ex Maxim.) Kitam., creating an intergeneric cross of species from three continents. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta daisy remains a favorite garden plant. 12192

almost every garden has them here.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Leucanthemum × superbum, commonly called Shasta daisy, is a hybrid developed by Luther Burbank (1849-1926) in the 1890s near snow covered Mt. Shasta in northern California. Burbank crossed L. vulgare (European oxeye daisy), L. maximum (Pyrenees chrysanthemum), L. lacustre (Portuguese field daisy) and Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Japanese field daisy) to produce Leucanthemum × superbum which was given the common name of Shasta daisy. This hybrid typically grows to 2-3' tall with a spread to 18" wide.

My new 'Freak' white daisies.

'Freak' is their nursery brand name!!

They are Leucanthemum daisies.

aka Shasta Daisies.

This particular Leucanthemum daisy is a hybrid resulting from a cross between the Ox-eye Daisy (L vulgare), the Pyrenees Chrysanthemum (L. Maximum), the Portuguese Field Daisy (L. lacustre) and the Japanese Field Daisy (Nipponanthemum).

...daisies! Montauk Daisies, from earlier this afternoon, one of the hardy, Fall blooming daisies. The winds have turned colder here and I wouldn't be surprised if we had a deep frost in the next day or so. Shoot while you can the growing season is almost over for the year. :)

Montauk Daisy ( Nipponanthemum nipponicum) Upright Perennial, Cedar Falls

The Nippon daisy or Montauk daisy (Nipponanthemum nipponicum) is a plant species native to coastal regions of Japan but cultivated as an ornamental in other regions. It is now naturalized as an escapee along seashores in New York and New Jersey. Wikipedia

Montauk Daises are in every home this time of the year,

They are beautiful and so cheerful perfect to brighten any cloudy day.

These Montauk daisies were in flower pots for 3 years,

each year I got less blooms, finally put them in 2 different flowerbeds on either side of our house up front.

Long Island is full of these lovely Montauk daisies and all in bloom this time of the year.

When Japan was still virtually inaccessible to foreign travellers - American admiral Perry only adventured here in 1852 - Carl Johann Maximowicz, director of the Botanical Garden of St Petersburg, Russia, ventured there on his round-the-world journey 1853-1857. As a botanist he trod the footsteps of those intrepid naturalist forebears Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828), the 'Japanese Linnaeus', and Philip Franz von Siebold (1796-1866), whom I've often mentioned in these pages.

Maximowicz traveled widely in Japan under often extremely trying circumstances, and he made a huge collection of Japanese plants. Among these he collected - and later described scientifically - this magnificent Daisy in what was then called Jedo or Edo and which we know today as Tokyo. Nippon Daisy was soon afterwards imported into Europe and made its way across the Atlantic to become widely disseminated on the northeastern seaboard of the USA, especially on Long Island; hence its local name: Montauk Daisy.

This photo was taken in the tiny secluded plot in the Hortus devoted to Japanese plants in honor of Thunberg.
