The bright, button-like daisy flowers are often seen in lawns and are used by
children for daisy chains. Blooms in pink, white or red to about 6 inches
high. Excellent for edging and flower borders, as companion plants with spring
bulbs or in containers and rock gardens. Although perennial, plants are
usually grown as annuals or biennials. Foliage is low and small leaves are
often hairy. Many varieties, including double-flowered types, are available.
Can be invasive and often self sow and naturalize. Thrive with plenty of
moisture. Need partial shade in hot areas. Sow seed in early fall or spring or
buy in containers. |
