Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Native to inland areas from British Columbia to Baja, California, this Layia is more heat tolerant than the “Tidytips” Layia platyglossa of our northern coastal areas. Pure white, fragrant, daisy flowers are held on branching stems 1’ to 3’ tall, depending on fertility. It naturally occurs on sandy, dry, open spaces, so can tolerate heat & no Summer water if it self sows for you.
