Flowering Times: May - September

Additional Information:
The Ox-eye daisy is an easy to establish meadow flower found in a variety of natural plant communities. It is happy on most soil types ranging from dry to heavy, damp ground. Rarely seen today other then on disturbed sites or roadside verges. Unfortunately, even these areas often contain domestic bred strains from the aftermath of fly tipping garden waste. The most reliable establishment is obtained from spring to early autumn sowings into a warm soil.
Ox-eye Daisy may be introduced into grassland providing the area is well prepared. The existing grass must be topped or grazed very short then repeatedly harrowed to expose sufficient soil as to create a seedbed. The seeds should be surface sown and the area lightly rolled to consolidate the ground ensuring the seeds are in good contact with the soil. Occasional grazing or topping prevents developing seedlings from becoming smothered during establishment.
