How to keep Leucanthemum Corsicum.
Light
The Leucanthemum corsicum is a herbaceous perennial plant that loves the sun, and commonly grows in open environments such as meadows and grasslands. It prefers areas with full sun exposure, but can also manage in areas with only partial sunlight.
Fertilizer
Typically, a solitary fertilizer application in spring is enough for Leucanthemum corsicum, though several feeding times can optimally augment growth. Apply fertilizer every four to six weeks. This will improve the look and performance of the leaves, fostering uniform color and robust texture. Additionally, it boosts the growth of roots and the absorption of nutrients, ensuring the lasting well-being of the plant.
Pruning
Leucanthemum corsicum needs minimal pruning. In spring, pinch back the apical buds when the plant reaches 15 cm (6 inches) in height. After the plant has flowered, trim the stalk to conserve nutrients. Throughout the growing season, address any overgrowth and remove spent flowers to prevent seed dispersal and maintain manageable growth.
