Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Late spring and summer brings a procession of 2" yellow daisies that unfold from unusual square buds that are born on branching stems. Interesting glossy medium green toothed foliage on a spreading to upright taprooted and drought tolerant perennial. Louisiana Squarehead is a rare native that is found only in west Louisiana, east Texas, and southwestern Arkanasas on deep sandy soils and so will likely appreciate a well-drained sandy soil.
