Perennial
Height: 1–3 feet

This beautiful wildflower, commonly called Ox-Eye Daisy or Field Daisy, can be found throughout North America. The long graceful stems display blossoms of white petals with a bright yellow eye well above the foliage, making for an excellent cut flower. Plants are very adaptable, tolerating both moist and moderately dry conditions once established.

SOW
Sow seeds outside in a sunny location during spring through early fall. Cover lightly with 1/8 inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. Keep evenly moist until plants begin to grow. Covering with loose straw will help maintain moisture.

THIN
To 12 inches apart when plants are 3–4 inches high.

GERMINATION
Takes 15–30+ days depending on soil and temperature conditions. As with most perennials, some seeds may not germinate until the following spring after they have been stratified by cold conditions.

REMARKS
Flowers appear the second year. Established clumps should be divided every 3–4 years to maintain flowering. A butterfly favorite!
