Complete your seed shasta Leucanthemum F1 package!
Use White Lion for early-Spring sales from overwintered production (previously only possible with vegetative varieties) and for Spring sales from annual production. White Lion has a critical daylength of only 10 hours.
Use Madonna for late Spring and Summer sales in long-day conditions. Madonna has a critical daylength of 14.5 hours.
Both offer better uniformity in height and habit over their seed counterparts, plus, they provide an excellent alternative to vegetative Leucanthemum with no vernalisation needed and no risk for bacterial infection. With these two options, you’ll have easy-to-ship plants for early Spring into Summer on the bench and in the store.
 
Plug crop time: 5 to 6 weeks 
Transplant to finish: annual, 9 to 12 weeks; overwintered, 18 to 26 weeks (18 in southern regions)
