The first true leaves are broadly oval in shape with wavy, lobed margins.<\/p>\n<h3>Juvenile<\/h3>\n<p>Oxeye daisy has shallow, short, creeping roots. A basal rosette is produced in the first year. The rosette leaves are petioled, spoon-shaped and coarsely-toothed. They are dark-green and have a smooth, almost shiny surface. Tall, sparsely-branched stems emerge in the second year from a thick crown. They are typically smooth, but may be sparingly hairy at the base. The upper stem leaves are narrower and more deeply-toothed than the basal leaves. They are sessile and often clasp the stem. All parts of the plant have a stong, unpleasant odor.<\/p>\n<h3>Mature<\/h3>\n<p>Numerous yellow disk and white ray flowers occur in dense, showy, daisy-like heads. The oxeye daisy heads resemble those of scentless chamomile. The two weeds are easily distinguished by the spoon-shaped leaves and strong odor associated with oxeye daisy. Each of the tiny disk flowers in the center of the head produces a single seed. The seeds are narrow and black with ten prominent white ribs. They have a small projection on one end, but lack the feathery pappus typical of many other Asteraceae weeds.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Juvenile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/images\/MDImages\/asb\/invasiveweeds\/images\/oxeyedaisy_juvenile.jpg\" alt=\"Juvenile\" \/><figcaption class=\"text-center\">Juvenile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Mature\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/images\/MDImages\/asb\/invasiveweeds\/images\/oxeyedaisy_mature.jpg\" alt=\"Mature\" \/><figcaption class=\"text-center\">Mature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Flower\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/images\/MDImages\/asb\/invasiveweeds\/images\/oxeyedaisy_flower.jpg\" alt=\"Flower\" \/><figcaption class=\"text-center\">Flower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other Names &#8211; White daisy Family &#8211;\u00a0Sunflower Asterceae Life Cycle &#8211; creeping perennial Habitat &#8211; forage crops, hay fields, rangeland, wetland, roadsides Key Features Short, creeping roots Spoon-shaped, coarsely-toothed basal leaves Strong, unpleasant odor Seedling Cotyledons are oval and stalkless. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/?page_id=1603\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1603","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"featured_image_src":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1603"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1603\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2546,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1603\/revisions\/2546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdwainwright.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
