Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hymenoxys acaulis (Syn. Tetraneuris acaulis) This little daisy starts blooming in a minimally heated greenhouse round about February or March and doesn't quite until, oh, November or so. It is kind of insane. Low, narrow foliage topped with cute little yellow daisies. One of those hardy in Denver things, it can take a lot of cold (zone 5, maybe even colder) but it needs perfect drainage for full hardiness. Great in a trough or rock garden, and hard to beat when it comes to just pumping out flowers nonstop ZONE 5
