Ox-eye daisies are perennial wildflowers, they can often be found growing in grassland and wildflower meadows. It can colonise open ground if left to its natural devices and is a rampant grower in fertile soil. It has a medium to tall un-branched stem topped by a solitary daisy flower from May through to September.
They reach a height of around 40cm and a spread of 30cm. They do best in south or west facing positions. If in a border they look good in the front or middle. They enjoy full sun and are a hardy plant. They have a preference for well drained, light or sandy soil.
You can sow them in March and April, either in a pot or directly in your soil, I started mine in pots. They can be planted out in May and June.
I love growing cornflowers and poppies along side ox-eye daisies.
I sell ox-eye daisies on my website, they are a beautiful addition to any garden with the added bonus of feeding wildlife.
