Buphthalmum Salicifolium (Asteraceae)
Commonly known as Ox-Eye daisy, this species is a native of the European alps and Eurasia, growing in poor, alkaline soil and full sun. It is a clump forming perennial with willowy foliage and bright, sun-yellow flowers that persist from early summer to frost if deadheaded. An uncommon perennial that deserves more attention. Not as weedy as Leucanthemum vulgare. Which is also known as ox-eye daisy, but is considered more invasive. Poor soil is a must for a sturdy, well flowering plant plant.
