Leucanthemum × superbum 'Wirral Supreme' problems — and how to fix them
Leucanthemum × superbum 'Wirral Supreme' (Leucanthemum × superbum 'Wirral Supreme') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Flopping double heads
The heavy double flowers weigh stems down, especially after rain. Provide a grow-through support early in the season or grow among sturdier neighbours.
Crown rot in wet ground
Cold, waterlogged soil rots the crown over winter. Ensure sharp drainage, keep mulch off the crown, and divide aging clumps to maintain vigour.
Powdery mildew and leaf spot
Humid, crowded conditions encourage fungal foliage problems. Improve spacing and airflow, water at the base, and clear infected leaves.
Centre die-out
Established clumps thin and die in the middle. Lift and divide every 2-3 years in spring or autumn to restore even, vigorous flowering.
