Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Introduced in 1798 from its native Mexico, this golden yellow daisy flower looks very much like a small black-eyed Susan with short petals and a big brown eye. They are covered with blooms all summer. The stems, trailing to 2', have a billowing effect, which lends an informal atmosphere to garden edges and containers.
