Description

These big, bold, daisy-like flowers with intricately patterned petals will stop you in your tracks. Each brilliant white flower is striped and spotted at its center with rich tones of orange, burgundy, and sienna, and not-so-subtle splashes of blue! It’s unanimous: this is a real summer winner! This sun-loving, fast-growing perennial can be used in mixed beds, or it can be used as a large-scale groundcover with its attractive gray foliage. Easy to grow, plants will reach 1 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, and are drought tolerant once established. White Cape Daisy is a hit with butterflies, bees, birds, and other pollinators, so keep your garden humming and popping all summer long with this beauty.
