Daisy Seeds, Blue Disc African:
Description: Annual. Silvery white flower rays offset the steel-blue “eyes” or centers. Heat-loving daisy is easy to grow from seed and thrives for a long season. Plants to 24 inches. Very striking and makes a brave show all summer long!
Description: A fun, frizzly petaled, snow-white Shasta daisy. This care-free perennial fills in pots, beds and borders beautifully with its wild puffs of alabaster. Plants stand 2 to 2.5 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide and bloom from early to late summer. This variety looks gorgeous in mass plantings.
Description: Also known as shooting star, the small yellow flowers shine through an airy cloud of foliage. Tiny blooms are just 1 inch across and the plant emits a citrusy fragrance. This is an underappreciated annual native to North America and takes minimal care to thrive. The mound-shaped plants average 1 foot by 1 foot and make an excellent groundcover. They need very little water once established, making them perfect for hanging baskets or xeriscape (waterless) gardens.
Description: (Anthemis tinctoria). Cheerful yellow blooms atop lacy foliage. Also known as Marguerite daisy or Kelway’s Golden chamomile (though it is not a true chamomile), this sunny yellow bloom is carefree and wildly attractive to pollinators, especially honeybees. An undemanding perennial native to the rocky steppes and dry grasslands of the Middle East will grow easily in dry and poor soil under full sun in your garden. Clumping plants reach 3 feet tall, blooms average 1.5 inch across. This is a fantastic traditional dye plant, yielding a gorgeous gold to yellow color for textiles and craft projects! Plants will eagerly bloom from summer to fall, deadheading will extend this beautiful show. Easily self seeds.
Daisy Seeds, Pastel Mix Livingstone:
Description: A care-free annual with dazzlingly colorful rewards! These low, spreading plants reach just 4-6 inches tall and send amazing beams of rainbow colors into the stratosphere. They are the easiest way to brighten a difficult, dry landscape! This sun-loving plant makes a drought-tolerant ground cover and is an exceptionally easy-to-grow blast of color for your landscape! Native to Cape Peninsula in South Africa, this variety is presumably named for Dr. David Livingstone, a Scottish-born physician and missionary who extensively traveled the African continent in the 1800s. The plant’s native range is in relatively infertile desert soils, which lends an explanation to its resilience. Do not overwater, as these like slightly dry, well-drained soil.
Daisy Seeds, Pink Shades Paper:
Description: A darling, rosy-hued, everlasting bloom to enliven the landscape and arrangements.

It is grown most often as an annual but can be treated as a perennial in USDA zones 9-11. Plants grow to an average height of 12- 36 inches and to about 1-1.5 feet wide. Try this long-season bloomer in containers or planted in the ground.
