How to prune oxeye daisy

Deadhead promptly after flowering (late spring to midsummer) to limit self-seeding; cut back hard after flowering; tidy in late autumn. Snip off spent flower heads before seeds set, or shear the whole plant back by two-thirds after flowering. In late autumn, cut all growth to ground level. Note: check local guidance — Leucanthemum vulgare is considered invasive in some regions.
