Not to be semantically confused with : Yellow Oxeye (Telekia speciosa) [a plant with similar name belonging to the same Dandelion & Daisy family but with very large bright-yellow but narrow ray-florets with very large cordate to lanceolate leaves]

Easily mis-identified as : Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum) but that is taller at 1.2m high (up to 1.5m max) has larger flowers 60mm-100mm across, larger and sharply-pointed teeth on the leaves and no auricles. The leaves also have a linear taper to their attachment point on the stem.

Many similarities to : Autumn Oxeye (Leucanthemella uliginosum) which also resembles Shasta Daisy but the leaves lack the characteristic smell of that and are a paler green, are thinner and possess more sharply-pointed and deeply-serrated teeth. Autumn Oxeye is also almost unknown in the wild in the UK now, and, at up to 2m tall, is much taller than either Oxeye Daisy or Shasta Daisy.

Oxeye Daisy is a native clump-forming perennial plant with rhizomes. It grows in grassy places on rich soils throughout the UK. It is very variable in characteristics, being diploid in meadows but tetraploids are common. Much planting from unknown sources has occurred alongside roadside verges.
