Oxeye Daisy's Uses

This daisy is famous for its landscaping and sun gardens due to its attractive appearance and easy-to-grow nature. It is often used in meadows, wildflower gardens, and naturalized areas, adding a bright, cheerful element to the landscape. It is also an excellent choice for cottage gardens and informal settings, where its informal and casual look is prized.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, it is also valued for its ecological benefits. The plant is a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for gardens supporting local wildlife. It also serves as a natural pest control, as it is repellent to many insects.

This plant is a hardy perennial herb that grows from one to three feet high. It is a beautiful wildflower that will flourish in a wildflower meadow.

However, the Internet has made purchasing seeds in wildflower mixes possible. An essential part of controlling these beautiful yet suffocating wildflowers is pulling them up by the roots or cutting the plant down before it flowers and produces seeds.

A densely planted, well-maintained, mulched flower garden will help shade these wildflower seedlings. The Oxeye Daisies are a beautiful addition to any wildflower garden.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
