Leucanthemum plant named ‘Real Jewel’

Abstract

A new cultivar of Leucanthemum plant named ‘Real Jewel’ that is distinguishable by its dense clumping basal-branching and upright plant habit and numerous long and narrow dark green leaves. A fully expanded inflorescence of ‘Real Jewel’ is shallow cylindrical in shape and consists of approximately 60 ray florets borne in three concentric whorls surrounding approximately 400 yellow disc florets massed in a receptacle. Flowering of ‘Real Jewel’ commences in April and continues until October. The ray florets of ‘Real Jewel’ are lightly quilled towards the receptacle and then free and held slightly above the horizontal as they emerge from the perimeter of the disc and expand. ‘Real Jewel’ is hardy in USDA Zone 5 to (−20° F. or −28° C.). The foliage of ‘Real Jewel’ does not wilt in dry conditions.

I claim:
