Ox-Eye Daisy, Common Daisy |
Description
This is a favorite roadside wildflower, growing 1-2' when blooming in May and June. It is a parent of the hybrid shasta daisies, and can be used as good cut flowers, requiring little maintenance in a sunny garden with ordinary garden soil. While making a soothing compliment to a bright colored bed, they are striking when grouped on their own as well. -Holland Wildflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:
Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.
Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
