A Flower with Heritage

The Ox eye Daisy has graced British fields and roadsides since ancient times and was once used in traditional medicine for eye and respiratory ailments. It thrives in poor soil and open spaces, making it ideal for re-wilding projects, eco-gardening, and low-maintenance landscaping.

Benefits for Wildlife

• Rich in nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies

• Supports UK-native species including gatekeeper butterflies and solitary bees

• Provides ground cover and shelter for beneficial insects

• Perfect for creating a biodiverse wildflower meadow or pollinator corridor

Perfect for All UK Garden Types

Ox eye Daisies are extremely versatile and adapt well to various soil types. They flourish in full sun and well-drained soil, but will tolerate light shade and poor, chalky, or sandy soils.

Great for:

• Wildflower meadows

• Cottage gardens

• Wildlife-friendly spaces

• Verge and embankment planting

• Low-maintenance and eco-conscious gardens

• Schools, public spaces, and urban green areas

How to Grow Oxeye Daisies from Seed in the UK

Growing Leucanthemum vulgare from seed is easy with the right method and timing.

When to Sow (UK Timing)

• Best time: March to May or August to October

• Spring sowing = first flowers by following summer

• Autumn sowing = earlier flowering next year after vernalisation (natural cold period)

Germination Requirements

Oxeye daisy seeds need light to germinate, so surface sow and do not cover them.

Germination Instructions:

• Choose a well-prepared, weed-free bed or pot.

• Rake soil to a fine tilth.

• Scatter seeds evenly and press lightly into the surface. Do not bury.

• Keep moist until germination (which takes 14–28 days, sometimes longer if cold).

• Thin seedlings to 15–30cm apart once large enough to handle.

Aftercare

• Water regularly during dry spells in the first year

• Once established, they are drought tolerant and need minimal care

• Cut back after flowering or leave seed heads for wildlife and self-seeding

• Deadhead to encourage repeat blooming

• Plants typically reach 60–90cm tall

Flowering Time

Ox eye daisies bloom from late May to August, creating a dazzling carpet of white and gold that naturalises beautifully over time. With autumn sowing, you may see earlier flowers from late spring.

• 100% UK native species
