This hardy species is a delightful and tough landscape solution. Taller and more vigorous than 'Moonbeam' or 'Zagreb', it has bright yellow flowers for 8 weeks or more, from late May to early August and often later. Drought tolerant and easy to grow in a garden or along the roadside.
Tends to bloom earlier than other daisy varieties, with a short stature and tidy, compact habit. White, quilled petals and sunny yellow centers provide a twist on the classic daisy look throughout the summer. From Darwin Perennials.
Noted as one of the very best of the group for its drought tolerance and deep green shiny foliage that stays clean through fall. Upright facing white flowers with ruby speckling appear in quantity held above the foliage on tall racemes. A very old cultivar of unknown parentage, grown as a cut flower in Japan since early in this century. Upright vase shape clump, non spreading. Still our favorite!
