A charming native perennial flower that is quick to grow.  It is great for filling areas of bare earth.  It can be found growing in bold swathes on grassy banks or roadside verges.  These daisy-like flowers are great for bees, butterflies and other pollinators throughout spring and early summer.  They are also great for sunny wildflower meadows.

  • Easy to self seed and may well dominate in the first few years.
  • Looks very good growing in amongst grass or with salvias.

Ox-Eye Daisy - (Leucanthemum Vulgare) Garden Care Instructions:

  • Sow into well-prepared bed
  • Rake over the bed to break up any clumps
  • Scatter the seeds
  • Rake them in
  • Firm down gently
  • Water well until they start to grow

Wilding - let the flowers do their own thing and they will drop their seeds naturally and reappear in the following year if conditions are right.

Herbaceous Borders - Thin the seedlings as they grow to prevent over crowding.  Once established, divide over-congested clumps in autumn or spring.

Sow: March-May or September-October
Flowering: May-July
