I grow oxeye daisy in my garden as a perennial vegetable, and they are a mild, surprisingly sweet (almost like a mild stevia) green. They are also evergreen so stay fresh even during the coldest months, as long as snow is not covering the ground. I don't know what people are talking about when they mention how strongly flavored they are, and everyone around here I know says they are mild and sweet too--I suppose it could be climate or ecotype?

Probably growing conditions.  Poor soil and less moisture generally results in stronger flavor.
