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.

Go wild with swathes of Shasta daisies! Extra petals give Leucanthemum 'Wirral Supreme' an extra boost of flower power, and a generous clump of these will see you through summer with their relaxed meadow vibe. Each of these gorgeously ruffled blooms sit on stems which can grow up to 1.5m tall once established. As this hardy perennial gradually spreads to form a packed-out patch, over time you’ll find you’ve created a blissful haze of billowing daisy-like blooms which is so enchantingly immersive.
Not only is easy, reliable and hardy Leucanthemum 'Wirral Supreme' a joy to grow and have in the garden, but it’s a pleasure to pick for country-themed arrangements too. For best results, plant a few in a group to get a good patch started. This perennial gradually grows into a clump which will each year produce more flowering stems, so you’ll have some to pick and plenty to leave for the bees and butterflies to enjoy. Leucanthemum × superbum 'Wirral Supreme' is a beautifully informal plant to include in a cottage garden, white garden or wild garden.

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.
