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.

SOWING:
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.

THINNING:
Thin to 12 inches apart when plants are 3 to 4 inches high.

GERMINATION:
Germination takes 15 to 30-plus 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 to 4 years to maintain flowering. A butterfly favorite!
