Features

Daisy flowers all season on compact plants; great for early spring and fall; low maintenance

• Deadheading Not Necessary
• Drought Tolerant *
• Fall Interest

*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established. Shrubs and trees will need to be watered for the first year after they are planted. After this, little or no supplemental water will be necessary when planted in the ground. No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.
