Did you know
- Also known as Dahlberg daisy, it blooms almost continuously in warm climates from spring to frost.
- The thread-like, finely divided foliage has a strong, pleasant lemony scent when brushed.
- Each tiny daisy-like flower is only about 1 cm across but they appear in such profusion they create a golden carpet.
- It is extremely heat and drought tolerant, thriving in conditions that would wilt most other flowers.
- The plant self-seeds readily and can create a naturalized golden groundcover with minimal effort.
