  • Description

  • Notes

This perennial grows to form a small, dense mat with a display of white, daisy-like flowers that are red on their reverse sides. This plant can endure gentle neglect, but requires weekly water in dry areas and much less near the coast.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halway with native soil and water. 5. Finish backfilling hole, build basin and water.
