A small, dense perennial forming 1' tall and wide mound. Yellow 1" daisies appear year-round, heaviest in spring. Prefers full sun, and can handle poor soils, but requires at least monthly watering to maintain its appearance. Water weekly in low desert. Native across southwest 4-7000'. Leaves are slender, green. Needs good drainage. Goes dormant at about 10 degrees F. Remove old seed heads.

Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
