Ox-Eye Daisy, Field Daisy, Marguerite, Moon Daisy, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum
Highly floriferous and robust, Leucanthemum vulgare (Ox-Eye Daisy) is a free flowering rhizomatous perennial valued for its abundant floral display and disease resistance. It produces a sea of large, pure white, single daisy flowers with golden yellow centers, up to 3 in. across (7 cm), atop a lush basal rosette of dark green leaves. Blooming for up to 4 weeks from late spring to late summer, the flowers are pollinated primarily by insects, including beetles, flies, wasps, and butterflies. Attractive, but somewhat weedy, Ox-Eye Daisy spreads by rhizomes and self-seeding. Native to the British Isles, Europe, and northern Asia, Ox-Eye Daisy is a valued addition to the perennial border, cottage garden, cutting garden, or prairies and meadows.
