(TP) to 18″. Santa Barbara Daisy. South America, Mexico. A delightful daisy that quickly forms a spreading mat in a cool greenhouse or makes a nice groundcover under a standard in pots. Flowering is strongest in the late spring and early summer. Golden yellow disc florets are surrounded by a fringe of up to 80 white to pinkish ray florets, becoming pinker in colour as the flowers mature. Flowers are about a third of an inch in diameter. The clusters of hairy, grey-green, Chrysanthemum-shaped leaves are arranged alternately along the stem and emit a pleasant scent when crushed. Sun and well-drained soil. 4 & T2
