ox-eye daisy

Ox-eye daisies need to be watered once or twice a week. When watering, make sure the soil is evenly moist but not soggy. Water the foliage directly, and water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage. To check if the plant needs to be watered, poke your finger about 1" - 2" into the soil to feel if it is dry and needs additional moisture.

Ox-eye daisies need plenty of direct sunlight in order to thrive. This particular plant species is best suited for full sun, meaning that it needs at least 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If the plant does not receive enough direct light, its growth and quality of the bloom will suffer. Therefore, when choosing a location to plant your ox-eye daisy, make sure to select an area with plenty of direct sunlight, such as in an uncovered area of your garden, a balcony, rooftop, or windowsill.

Ox-eye daisy can be pruned lightly in late spring when new growth appears. Pruning involves cutting back the entire plant to a height of around 4 to 6 inches. Be sure to remove any dead, damaged or diseased stems. Pruning at this time will help the plant remain dense and compact, and promote new blooms. It's important to avoid over-pruning, as it can weaken the plant and prevent new blooms. Additionally, avoid pruning the Ox-eye daisy into a ball or other unnatural shape as this can take away from its natural beauty.
