Origin: 'Snowcap' was introduced by Alan Bloom of Blooms of Bressingham in the 1980s, in USA with cooperation of Wayside Gardens. Leucantheum x superbum was developed in California by Luther Burbank (1849-1926) in the 1890s near snow covered Mt. Shasta. Burbank crossed several species of daisies from 2 continents - L. vulgare (European oxeye daisy), L. maximum (Pyrenees chrysanthemum), L. lacustre (Portuguese field daisy) and Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Japanese field daisy)
