Ox Eye Daisy Identification - Edible and Medicinal Plant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Ox Eye Daisy, or Leucanthemum vulgare, is a commonly found wild edible and medicinal plant that can be found along roadsides and in fields. It looks similar to your typical garden daisy but it does have some unique features, this is why positive identification is important. This video will walk you through the identification features of this beautiful plant so you will have no worries out in the field. With it's white flowers that have a disc shaped center and numerous ray like petals that are characteristic of daisy species it's somewhat easy to notice. The leaves are variable, starting off rather large near the basal rosette and getting smaller as we go up the stem of the plant towards the top. The alternating leaves also have rounded lobes at the base and towards the top get sharper and become toothed along the margins. It can be frequently found in clusters or small colonies in fields, clearings, roadsides, and edges of wood lines. The plant is edible and medicinal depending upon which part you want to harvest and the time of year it is found. This video will explain that a bit as well on top of providing a positive source for identification.

It's always such a comfort to see ox eyed daisy.
this is the best description I have found to identify Oxeye daisy against Shasta daisy! Now I feel comfortable pulling up this invasive weed knowing I'm not removing a native.
You're very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful for you!
I always learn something new , useful , and interesting from this channel. Thank you man! I appreciate your passion and dedication.
I would love to see you do a video of Canadian fleabane and horseweed the identification of them and the medicinal properties on the dry plant matter and the fresh plant matter thank you Josh.🥰😍🤩
Thank you Josh, I wondered or you can eat it, but more or you can eat the flowers, cause they are so pretty. And like with the Chamomille where you use the flowers. Learned some more. Have a beautiful summer! 🤗🌼
Thanks for sharing this! I thought I was finding ox-eye but when looking up id's, I found there were so many kinds of daisies and got confused!
Good call on this identification video. I just couldn't think of one, but common North American flowers are a perfect choice. I needed this one too do three thumbs up Josh.
Thank you
I learned loads watching this, thank you!
Awesome to hear, thanks for commenting!
Hey Josh, how have you been, good I hope, how's the beard growing, i cut mine down in the summer, to hot, but winter, full growth. Awesome video, I have a bunch of this in my yard, my ducks & goose love to eat it. Stay safe my friend. 👍👍👍
So my little man Really like this video for some reason insisting on holding the phone And watching the whole video
Excellent detailed ID !
Thanks Josh
You're very welcome Don, good to see you again!
these are great wild flower plants and do not have to be babied like most plants
i did not know they are edible or medicinal my friend..
As I walked by some in my garden I said I wonder if they are medicinal and edible just yesterday! Seems like someone is reading my mind and very interesting........
@@cpnotill9264 :)
cool keep it up dude
Will do, thanks for commenting!
Thanks very good but can it be used in the same way as chamomile as a sleep aid?
Very inspiring video you did very well explaining the plant
Thanks very much these are my moms favorite flower
Where are ox eye daisy come from? Europe?
Yes, it comes from Europe and Asia.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles thanks...what about the garden variety same areas?
Its so interesting to know the ones that came here long ago
Invasive but they were very important plants or seeds that was in feed or stuck in hair of farm animals or in their manure
Anyway i don't like invasive plants either taking over but they usually take over in our habitat not too much thick native untouched habitats
But not always the truth either i guess
Just saying many are useful and it's interesting how plants use us to travel around the world
Much love xoxox
When I was a young child my Granny told me these were "chigger" weeds. I've always admired their flower but tried to avoid touching them because of "chiggers". Thanks for enlightening me!
Interesting, I've always heard Queen Anne's Lace called chigger weed. However I can definitely say this plant does not harbor chiggers thankfully!
@@TrilliumWildEdibles I stand corrected. After watching your video I went exploring my property, and it's these little tinier white flowers with yellow middles and leaves are different too than what you showed hete that I was taught as chigger weed. I am excited to say I did find the ox daisy you showed here out in our field and see the difference. I even found a little white bug crawling on the yellow center on one, which at first glance looked like the white petal, but I watched it move. Lol that was cool, as i didn't realize there were white bugs
@@TrilliumWildEdibles and i did also see Queen Anne's lace.😊
@chu Harry you know I don't know if that grows wild in my region, would be awesome if it were! I'll have to check further to see if it is.
Are all daisies edible?
Cool! Thanks brother.
I have planted some from seeds. One of them are very tall, even taller than those you got there 😅
We have a variety of Daisy that has little tiny fragrant flowers and grows 3 to 4 feet tall. The leaves are linear with no stem. They have a little almost lavender color to them. They are very fragrant. What are these? Do you know?
Where are you in the world or US? That would be more helpful to determine what you might be looking at.

@@TrilliumWildEdibles I found it, Common, aka, Philadelphia Fleabane . Oaky, then, lol.
Thank you,Enjoy your vids 👍👍👍💯
My daughter has always loved eating daisies.
Thanks
You're very welcome!
how am i to tell oxeye vs daisy fleabane?
What is the difference between the ox eye and shasta?
I have checked on-line, and am unsure what part(s) to actually dry. Do I dry the whole above plant and use it together; or do I dry the flowers and leaves separately? Thank-you for any help.
Would the Ox-eye be able to pull a marriage carriage?
Daisy says she won't marry me if I can't afford one.
I feel like this is a reference to something but I can't place it?
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Do you remember the song HAL 9000 sang as his core processing chips were slowly removed one by one?😉
It’s a song, an oldy. “Daisy, daisy, give me your answer true. I’m half crazy....over the love of you. It won’t be a stylish marriage....I can’t afford a carriage”.......I can’t remember the rest. I think it was....”but you’ll look sweet, upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.” I don’t know if this is the one the other person was referring to but it’s a really old fashioned song.
Yep that’s the one, I looked it up.
Hey Arch!
I have this exact thing in my yard except I don't see basil rosette at the base. Do you know what kind of daisy mine is?
So is the shasta daisy a cultivated version of this? I know I could just do a search, but it's almost midnight.....
Hello Mr Josh' love your video. I have a ? Harvesting feverfew do we harvest roots, I know we do leave and flowers but what about the roots can you do a video on this beautiful plant.🌿🌼
I haven't ran across Feverfew in the wild yet so I'm not well versed on it's uses, unfortunately. It's been on my list for a while though so if I do find it I'll do a video. Until then I can't really say much about it except for I don't recall the roots being used but I very well could be wrong. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thank you Josh 😊 💓
I have just one of these daisies that has come up in my garden it has become a mass of lovely flowers l have no idea how it got there is it possible to propogate it will it survive the winter here in the UK or is it just an annual any ideas anyone thankyou
I love dasies
They are great aren't they?
Bad year for plants in PA. Very little rain this year. 2020 Corona plandemic.
Are there any poisonous lookalikes to daisy's?
Thanks Aidan
To my knowledge kind of but not really. Many daisy species do look similar though and they contain varying levels of toxic chemicals because they contain pyrethroids they can be toxic to pets and small children if consumed, so be aware of that.
There are other plants like Chamomile and Feverfew which might be confused with ox eye daisy but those are usable for food and medicine. It's always best to research more if you're planning on consuming so you know which species you have exactly as their usage can vary wildly.
Hope this helps some and thanks for asking!
God the Father's favorite flower is the Daisy!
