    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Another tiny daisy, this thing is minuscule, forming an itsy bitsy little fuzzy grey bun only an inch wide, with pink-to-white flowers on 1/2 inch tall stems. Doesn't get much cuter. Demands excellent drainage of a rock garden or trough, and best in something a little elevated so you can see and appreciate it without having to get down on your knees. Unless you are into that, of course. Native to the Western US, Zone 5, at least.
