Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
'Diamond Supreme'
Shasta daisy
Leucanthemum 'Diamond Supreme' gleams in the garden like a classic jewel, its white petals circling bold yellow hearts in a timeless summer combination. This Shasta daisy stands out with neatly toothed green leaves, upright stems, and blooms that keep coming from midsummer right through the season if deadheaded. The fresh, crisp flowers of Leucanthemum 'Diamond Supreme' lift the mood instantly, whether it’s planted in borders, edging paths, or dotted through pots on the patio. Few plants manage to look this effortlessly cheerful, and even fewer keep the performance going so reliably.
One of the joys of Leucanthemum 'Diamond Supreme' is its versatility. The tall, sturdy stems are ideal for cutting, making this variety as good for the vase as it is for the garden. Plant Leucanthemum 'Diamond Supreme' in bold groups for meadow-like sweeps of white and gold, or combine it with pastel salvias, pink roses, or airy grasses for a softer effect. Wherever it’s placed, Leucanthemum 'Diamond Supreme' proves that simplicity can outshine complexity, its clean daisy shape glowing like sunshine on a stem. When it comes to Shasta daisies, this variety really does set a new standard of summer brilliance.

Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
