Description

This is a favorite roadside wildflower, growing 1-2' when blooming in May and June. It is a parent of the hybrid shasta daisies, and can be used as good cut flowers, requiring little maintenance in a sunny garden with ordinary garden soil. While making a soothing compliment to a bright colored bed, they are striking when grouped on their own as well. -Holland Wildflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
