Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Softly mounding perennial to 8" tall and about 2' wide with copious amounts of small white daisies over a very long summer > fall season! It will tumble and cascade a bit with its lax stems. Great filler, edge or low accent – full sun, well drained soils; drought tolerant, deer resistant and easy to grow. Cut them to the ground any time they look a little a little bedraggled…they get tired making all those pretty little dancing daisies! Easy.

This plant is a trooper and very useful. It produces endless tiny daisies that are emerge white and mature to shades of pink, rose and red. It will seed itself (reasonably not invasively) into places nobody else would like and then burst into flower from various nooks and crannies. Plant beside your steps, pathways, around your patio or in rock walls or rockeries. From Mexico and Central America.

(Seaside Daisy) An evergreen, sprawling, perennial ground cover. Small, mid-green, finely haired, elliptical leaves clothe slender, wiry, ground hugging stems. Throughout the year small, delicate, finely petalled, white tinged pink flowers are produced in profusion. An extremely tough plant. Cut back as necessary.

Graceful, spreading perennial to 3' with dainty flower heads opening white and fading to pink so that multiple shades of color appear simultaneously. A utilitarian and trouble free plant, consider placing it in large containers, rock gardens, hanging baskets or on a dry wall. Drought tolerant. Assertive reseeder in many gardens. Shear hard annually to maintain a fresh appearance. Hardy to 0F. Mexico to Panama.
