Chrysanthemum leucanthemum Ox-Eye Daisy
The Ox-Eye Daisy has many names: Bull Daisy, Button Daisy, Dog Daisy, Field Daisy, Midsummer Daisy, Moon Flower, and White Weed. This pretty flower is native to Europe and the moderate regions of Asia. In Europe it's considered as a poisonous weed because it takes over fields where large cattle graze. Goats, sheep, and horses eat this weed, but not cows or pigs. It grows well on its own or with the help of pollinators. Also, the nature of this plants growth habits make wild Ox-Eye Daisy, a favorite for the herbalist to collect rather than grow.
