    This year I planted two Leucanthemum 'Snow Lady' & 'GoldRush'.One i divided into small segments and planted, the ofther i planted whole. Both plants then subsequently lost all there leaves with just the stems remaining. New growth has appeared from the base. I wondered if anyone knows the reason this has happened and will they flower develop successfully next year?

    Thanks John

     Could they have got at all dry during, or after planting?

    As you have new growth at the base, they should be fine for next year.

    Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.

    They should not have suffered through lack of water. I hope for a better display next year, as they appear to be an easy plant to grow seeing them in other gardens. Thanks John
