The Oxeye Daisy is just a gorgeous, simple wildflower. Quite common in fields and roadsides, blooming May thru October. This plant is a perennial herb that can reach 12-30" tall. The flower can have 15-35 ray flowers (0.5-0.8" long). The Oxeye Daisy is part of the Aster or Sunflower family. Infusion of the petals and leaves were made into wine and medicine, except in Italy, where this flower is associated with the dead and funerals.
