Leucanthemum vulgare / Ox-Eye Daisy / Marguerite / British Wildflower / Seeds

A lovely wildflower and good garden plant.  The Ox-Eye Daisy is a good upright plant, with large white daisy flowers with yellow centres from around May to August. The flowers sit on tall sturdy stalks 30-60cm high and they look great growing in a group or in a wildflower meadow or garden.


The Ox-Eye Daisy will grow in sun and part shade and prefers well drained soil.  It will tolerate light grazing and mowing.
