Leucanthemum vulgare is a hardy, native perennial plant that produces bright, cheerful daisy-like flowers from late spring to summer.


The flowers are large, white petals with a large yellow center, held high on sturdy stems.

Unlike some composite flowers that open and close with light levels, oxeye daisies usually remain open throughout the day in suitable conditions.

The basal leaves form a low rosette – light green, spoon-shaped with toothed margins, while the upper stem leaves are smaller, narrower, and more deeply lobed.

The foliage is deciduous – it will dry out in autumn and return with panache the following spring.

The Tale & The Botany: Leucanthemum vulgare

Flowering occurs from May to September, depending on climate and location, and attracts a wide range of pollinating insects, including bees, butterflies, and hoverflies.

After flowering, the plant produces dry, single-seeded fruits called achenes, which mature in late summer and are easily dispersed by wind, animals, and human activity, contributing to its widespread distribution.

Leucanthemum vulgare thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates a wide range of conditions, including drought, poor soils, full sun, and partial shade.

It has evolved to cope with variable rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and grazing pressure.

Although robust and resilient, it brings a touch of elegance and familiarity to drought tolerant gardens.
