Oxeye Daisy - Leucanthemum vulgare

Oxeye Daisy is a perennial wildflower with white, daisy-like flowers featuring yellow centers and deeply lobed leaves, often found in meadows and fields, adding charm to natural landscapes. It's known for its radiant white petals and sunny yellow center. It is a charming perennial with numerous landscaping benefits. Its innate qualities make it a popular choice among gardeners and landscapers alike.

It blooms single or in clusters from May through September, can reach a height of three feet on their tall, thick individual stems. The flowers they produce are multiple flowers in one. 15 to 35 white (ray flower) petals surround the flower head, which consists of 400 to 500 yellow disk flowers. This flower's distinctive feature is its enormous, spherical blossom head. Each bloom can reach up to three inches in diameter. When full-grown, these plants can get up to two feet wide. Once established, you'll likely always have daisies since they are so good at self-seeding.

Oxeye Daisy Has Unique Foliage 

This plant has dark green, spoon-shaped leaves that taper into narrow, serrated ones as they grow up the stem. The enormous leaves appear around the plant's base; they are about six inches long and two inches wide and have as many as 15 lobed edges. The top leaves are thin, alternately placed, and sometimes clasp against the stem. These clasping leaves, which are one to four inches long, also have lobed edges. Typically, a leaf's number of teeth or lobed edges increases as it grows higher on the stalk.

Save The Pollinators With Oxeye Daisy

The plant is the most significant type. Pollen and nectar found in these flowers are essential for the survival of several pollinating insects, such as moths, beetles, butterflies, hoverflies, and beetles. The male disk flowers emit a ring of yellow pollen around the periphery, while the many tiny flowers that compose the flower's yellow center contain nectar. Adding these flowers to your yard or garden is a perfect way to lure pollinators and increase their biodiversity.

These plants are magnets for good bugs, such as pollen-feeding beetles, which eat nasty bugs like aphids. Animals like cattle stay away from areas with these flowers because they irritate the wildlife's lips, nostrils, and legs. These characteristics make the plant an excellent form of pest and wildlife control. 

It is a perennial with bright white petals that surround a bright yellow center. Its simple but neat outlook comes in handy when planting it in a wildflower garden. 

They grow well in an area that receives full sun and desire well-drained soil; therefore, they can be grown in gardens, meadows, and roadsides. The plant is hardy and can tolerate a variety of environments like sand or clay. 

These plants are very easy to grow and are great for those trying gardening for the first time. They don't demand much attention once planted and, in most cases, reseed themselves to produce flowers year after year. 

Its flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other insects. Local ecosystems are conserved through this, and it also adds aesthetic value to the compound or yard. 

Oxeye Daisy bloom from spring through early summer and make gardens full of their eye-popping flowers for weeks. Removing spent blooms ensures that a plant continues to bloom and helps to extend the flowering season.

Care

Oxeye Daisy thrives in well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Cut back in late fall to maintain shape and prevent self-seeding.

Plant Reproduction

Oxeye Daisy can spread quickly by seed and vegetatively.

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
