water can look like not enough water. To tell the difference, feel the
leaves (the unaffected parts, not the dead parts, of course). If they are
dry and brittle it could be they need water. If the leaves and stems feel
succulent it is probably a case of overwatering. I'm guessing too much
moisture might be the problem because this particular species, Leucanthemum
vulgare, needs good drainage and likes it on the dry side. >>
Janis: This is great info - mine was acting the same way as we just got
through receiving about 6" of rain over the weekend. During last summer and
fall when we literally had no rain at all, the plant thrived and has actually
spread 4 times it's planting size last spring.
