Do you ever walk thru the hills in mid-late Summer and come upon a delicious, rich musky, fragrance and wonder what it is? Well this very cute native wildflower is what it is. I’ve been walking by it for years thinking how nice it would look & smell in the garden. It makes a perfect mound 12-16” tall & wide and bears in profusion, perfect 3/4” white daisies, on multi-branching sticky stems. Probably reseeds. Any soil.
