Leucanthemum plant named ‘LWMWH03-0’

#Latin name of the genus and species: Leucanthemum hybrid.

#Variety denomination: ‘LWMWH03-0’.

#The new variety was discovered, by the inventor, Graham Brown, a citizen of Australia as the result of a planned breeding program. The inventor crossed the seed parent, an unpatented proprietary Leucanthemum hybrid seedling referred to as ‘05.1.1’ and the pollen parent, an unpatented, proprietary Leucanthemum hybrid seedling referred to as ‘05.1.2’. The crossing resulting in ‘LWMWH03-0’ was made in November of 2006. It was discovered by Graham Brown in November 2007 a research greenhouse in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia.

#The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘LWMWH03-0’ grown in a greenhouse. The pot size is a commercial 1 gallon container, approximately 17 cm tall and 15 cm in diameter. The plant shown is approximately 20 weeks old. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.

#In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
