[Wikipedia] Native Range, Taxonomy: It is native to France and Spain but it can be found growing wild in other parts of the world as an introduced species and sometimes a garden escapee. This species is one of the wild chrysanthemums Luther Burbank crossed to produce the popular garden hybrid known as the Shasta daisy, Leucanthemum × superbum. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
