| Identification | English Daisy can potentially grow to 8 inches tall, but usually gets mowed, so that plants often are no more than 4 inches high. There are a number of oblanceolate to obovate basal leaves, from which a single naked stem arises, topped by a single head of yellow disc florets and white rays. The heads look quite similar to members of Erigeron or to Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare). | |
