Seedlings of Buphthalmum should be planted out in mid-spring (once a frost is no longer possible) into a moist but well drained soil with a pH of 6 to 8. They should be planted at between 20 and 30 cm apart. ox eye daisies are easy to look after, though taller varieties may require staking to protect from wind.
