More About Leucanthemum ‘REALFLOR® Real Sunbeam’

Leucanthemum ‘REALFLOR® Real Sunbeam’ stands out for its soft, buttery yellow daisy blooms, offering a warm alternative to traditional white Shasta daisies. The petals open a gentle lemon-yellow and often lighten as they age, creating a glowing, sunlit effect in the garden.

Part of the REALFLOR® series, this variety was bred for improved branching, flower uniformity, and strong stems, resulting in a plant that looks polished and intentional throughout its bloom season.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Real Sunbeam’ has delivered excellent garden performance, holding its flowers upright through wind and rain and reblooming reliably with simple deadheading. The soft yellow color remains clean and cheerful without muddying or fading in summer heat.

We especially appreciate how well it blends. The pastel yellow tones pair beautifully with blues, purples, whites, and ornamental grasses, making it easy to incorporate into both traditional and modern planting schemes.

Leucanthemum ‘REALFLOR® Real Sunbeam’ vs. Other Shasta Daisies

Compared to classic white varieties like ‘Flower Power’ or Sweet Daisy® selections, ‘Real Sunbeam’ offers a warmer, more distinctive color palette while maintaining the same strong garden performance.

When compared to double-flowered daisies such as ‘Amazing Daisies® Marshmallow,’ this variety provides a clean, single-flower form with a lighter, airier appearance. For gardeners seeking a long-blooming Shasta daisy with soft yellow color and refined habit, Leucanthemum ‘REALFLOR® Real Sunbeam’ is an excellent choice.
