Care
Leucanthemum ‘Lucille™ Chic’ Care
Plant in a location receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Full sun encourages sturdy stems and consistent flowering, though light afternoon shade is tolerated in warmer climates.
Grow in well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Once established, plants tolerate short dry periods but flower best with evenly moist soil during active growth.
Fertilization is optional but beneficial in spring to support steady growth and flowering. A light application of slow release fertilizer in early spring is typically sufficient.
Deadheading spent blooms can help extend flowering. Cut plants back after the main bloom flush or in late fall to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthy regrowth.
Container Growing: This compact selection performs well in patio containers with high-quality potting mix and reliable drainage. Container-grown plants require more frequent watering than in-ground plantings. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
