Often growing in swathes along a roadside or field margin, the oxeye daisy is just as at home in traditional hay meadows. The large, white, daisy-like flowers are easy to identify. They can fit well in pots but again they won't understand the confines when throwing their seeds out.

About
A typical grassland plant, the oxeye daisy thrives on roadside verges and waste ground, as well as in traditional hay meadows and along field margins. Its large blooms appear from July to September and are so bright that they appear to 'glow' in the evening, hence the other common names of 'moon daisy' and 'moonpenny'.
How to identify
The oxeye daisy is easy to identify by its large, round flower heads that appear on single, tall stems. It has spoon-shaped leaves at its base and thin, jagged leaves along the stem.
Distribution
DELIVERY
All packs sent 24 hour Tracked unsigned
The small plug plants will be dispatched by first class post in an envelope with moist tissue. I'll pick the plants on the day you purchase and put them straight in the post.
Please allow an extra day from the estimate on the postage page as the package is coming from Northern Ireland.
Please open the pack as soon as they are delivered. It is important to take the plants out of the container on delivery as they could rot with the lack of air circulation.
They might look a bit stressed but will soon pick up when planted.
PLEASE NOTE : The postage includes the packaging costs as well as the charges from the post office (box 40p etc). It also include the charges E-Bay incur on the total. We do not make any profit from postage.
Quality Assured
If you have any problems with the plants or need any more advice about planting or aftercare please contact me.
The plants will be picked, packed and shipped on the same day, usually the day you order (if it's still light).
First Class delivery and recycled packaging is charged with ebay extra costs added.
The last posting of the week will be Wednesday evening then I'll resume on the Monday morning. this will ensure the plants don't sit in the sorting office for too long.
Plants will vary slightly from the images.
I offer a money back guarantee only if the plants don't arrive in good condition and not postage issue from royal Mail.Please send me a photograph of the plants and the postal arrival date for my quality assurance.
PACKAGING
I understand the value and importance of recyclable/biodegradable packaging and strive to make it 100% when possible.
The plants are grown as organically in sustainable compost with natural fertilizers. The room for improvement will be in packaging materials.
At present we use recycled/recyclable boxes which help to keep the plants healthy and not too flattened in transit.
Areas for improvement are the plastic inserts.
Currently we are using single use plastic in the bags and the Sellotape is the normal single use stuff too. We are constantly on the lookout for more eco friendly products to use and are open to suggestions.
The paper towel used to wrap the plants is recycled.
The amount of plastic we use is kept to a bare minimum for safe transit of the plants, but we know more could be done. I will update this when we source new eco plastics to use.
Thank you for your patience.
