A tried and true favorite miniature garden bedding plant for the “understory” in your miniature garden bed. This plant will keep growing and giving. Divide your miniature daisies every year or two, to keep it fresh. Full sun to part sun. Damp soil, don’t let it dry out completely. Long blooming, from June through to September. Real, daisy-like flowers too. 1/2" blooms are the cutest. When not in bloom the wonderful green colored matt is great for texture. Hardy to -25 °F, Zone 5 to 9. Heat hardy zones 9 thru 6.

Best utilized in full sun or part shade in hotter climates with regular garden water. Hardy to 10 °F. An enjoyable but generally weak perennial, originating from the Mediterranean Islands.
