HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in spring after the last chance of frost, sowing on the surface of the soil; press the soil down lightly and keep moderately moist until germination, which should take place within 10-14 days. To start indoors, sow on the surface of a flat 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring. Keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination. Transplant or thin the seedlings as soon as they reach a height of several inches.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established; mature plants also appreciate occasional watering, but too much moisture will cause disease and root rot. To encourage branching and bushy growth, pinch off the growing tips. This plant will self-seed and spread easily by rhizomes, and is considered invasive in several states. Mature plants can be divided in the fall or early spring. This plant tolerates mowing, which tidies the plant after it finishes blooming and helps prevent excessive self-seeding. Because of its potentially invasive nature, we cannot sell this seed to customers in CO, MT, OH, WA, or WY.
Harvesting: Daisies make long lasting fresh flowers; cut the stems long and place them in water immediately.
Seed Saving: Late in the season, allow the blossoms to fully mature; when the centers turn brown, cut them off and spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight. After about two weeks or when the heads have fully dried, rub them lightly to separate the seed from the husks. Store Ox Eye Daisy seeds in a cool, dry place.

Good value
I'n not new to bulk seed, but I'm new to Everwilde. The value is good, the seed looks very clean and the packaging is impressive. I'm in the habit of splitting my plantings between two seasons, but the paper or cloth packages I'm used to make storage difficult. These packages are perfect for people like me!
Great germination
Planted these as soon as they arrived in march 2024 and already they are started to pop up! Excited for this summer!
Always reliable
Fresh seeds, good germination, right count. Multi repeat buyer.
Great service
Good seeds, good service and love the resealable package.
Great value!
Daisy standout
This is one of the vase flowers you need to add for an attractive bunch of flowers, goes great with a Dames Rocket mix as well.
prohibited weed
Ox-eye daisy is prohibited to grow in several states including Washington because it's invasive.
DON'T PLANT THIS
This is a highly invasive plant!! There have been countless cases of this species escaping cultivation and taking over natural areas. Once established it can be very hard to get rid of. It is indeed a pretty plant but there are so many other native alternatives that are equally, if not more beautiful. Trust me, you don't want to be the one responsible for spreading this plant around your neighborhood!
