The flowers have been grown in Nghia Trai Village, Van Lam District for medical use for hundreds of years. People use them to make traditional herbal medicines which help detox, de-stress and improve eye health.
These medicinal daisies are planted annually between June and December, and harvest time starts from late November to December as the flowers are in full bloom.
Nghia Trai Village is now home to some 20 hectares of daisy fields which are seeing lots of farmers harvesting their crops as well as visitors coming to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Harvesting work is all done by hand which needs skill and care so that the fresh flowers are not broken.
A farmer, Do Thi Huong, said that she has been growing daisies in her 7,200-square-metre field for 20 years now.
"We're having a good crop this year with more and bigger flowers," the farmers said. "I've hired 10 workers to help harvest the flowers and each of them can pick up to 25 kilos a day. The fresh flowers are currently sold for VND 50,000 a kilo."
Farmers say they can also sell the fresh or dried flowers to tea or herbal medicine producers in Vietnam and China.
