Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A widespread floriferous native wildflower, Engelmann's Daisy can bloom summer-long! It's tough and can thrive in poor soil but is, nonetheless, exuberant! Water during especially hot and dry periods. Lightly self-sowing, perfect for meadow or other naturalistic plantings, but equally at home in flower gardens.
Minimum temperature: -30 °F
