Leucanthemum paludosum, or more commonly known as Creeping Daisy, is native to the warm and sunny stretches of Northern Africa and widespread among the Mediterranean. The plant Leucanthemum paludosum has been reclassified several times and having once been widely known as both Chrysanthemum paludosum and Mauranthemum paludosum. Leucanthemum is in fact more closely related to the common Shasta Daisy than to the chrysanthemum.
