Wiesenmargerite

<em>Leucanthemum vulgare</em>, the common daisy, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. This species has a broad global distribution, occurring across diverse terrestrial habitats on multiple continents, including meadows, pastures, roadsides, and disturbed ground. The common daisy is characterized by its bright white ray florets surrounding a yellow disc, a floral arrangement that is one of the most recognized in temperate landscapes. It typically grows to 20–70 centimeters in height and produces flowers from late spring through summer. <em>Leucanthemum vulgare</em> often spreads readily via wind-dispersed achenes and can form dense stands in grasslands and disturbed soils. The species is considered a generalist and is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and light conditions. It has been widely introduced beyond its native Eurasian range and is sometimes regarded as an invasive species in parts of North America and Australasia. Biological traits of this species remain generally well-documented given its widespread occurrence and ecological significance as a pollinator-supporting plant.
