Four-Nerve Daisy

Four-Nerve Daisy brings a remarkably long season of color to dry landscapes, often beginning its display in spring and continuing intermittently through fall. Bright yellow, daisy-like flowers rise individually on slender, nearly leafless stems above a tidy basal mound, creating a light and airy effect without taking up much garden space. Its foliage may remain green through much of the year in mild climates, extending its ornamental value beyond the bloom season.

Native to prairies, rocky hillsides, and limestone-rich soils of the central and southwestern United States, this resilient perennial is built to handle intense sun, heat, wind, and drought. Its flowers attract native bees, butterflies, and other small pollinators over an extended period, making it a valuable addition to habitat gardens where consistent floral resources are important.

Typically growing 6–12 inches tall in foliage, with flower stems reaching somewhat higher, Four-Nerve Daisy fits beautifully along pathways, at the front of borders, in rock gardens, and among low-growing grasses and succulents. Excellent drainage is the key to keeping it healthy and long-lived, particularly in regions with wet winters or heavy soil.

• Plant Four-Nerve Daisy in full sun and sharply drained soil, avoiding rich compost, heavy mulch, and frequent watering.
• Remove spent flower stems to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continued bloom.
• Lightly trim damaged foliage in early spring if needed.
