Leucanthemum vulgare | ox-eye daisy
My ultimate reliable daisy, the easy and edible summer wonder.
If snowdrops do the heavy lifting in winter, followed by pulmonaria in spring and then alliums in early-summer, it’s the ox-eye daisy that picks up the pace heading into mid-summer. Our garden is choc full of them because, well, I’ve let them take over - I love them! There’s nothing better than their happy flowers on thin stems wobbling in the wind, especially when reflecting the glow of the moon at night.
