Growing tips

The oxeye daisy is a very hardy and easy-to-grow outdoor plant: place it in a spot with direct sunlight, ensuring between 4 and 9 hours of light per day to encourage its spring and summer flowering. Water it moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, and use a well-draining substrate to prevent waterlogging. It is highly frost-resistant, tolerating temperatures down to -20 °C, so no winter protection is needed. Bear in mind that it has mild toxicity, so take care if young children or pets are nearby.
