Quick Overview:

‘Tuscan Sun’ is a dwarf oxeye cultivar that is perhaps the shortest member of the genus available in commerce today. It typically grows to only 15-20” tall. Daisy-like flowers (2” diameter) with yellow rays with orange-gold centers bloom throughout summer atop stiff stems. Plants are well-branched plants with ovate, dark green leaves.

Description

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates drought, but does best if regularly watered. Tolerates a wide range of soils, including poor, infertile ones. Tolerates some light shade, but plants are less vigorous and stems need support in heavier shade. Remove spent flowers to extend bloom season. Plant stems may be cut back by 1/3 to 1/2 in late May to reduce overall plant height.

‘Tuscan Sun’ is a dwarf and may not need cutting back to control height.
