These widely cultivated, showy plants are among the most popular of our natives plants. Their pink daisy flowers appear over a long period; an interesting characteristic is how their petals umbrella from the prominent, orange central cone. All types cut well. They are easy to grow in most soils. They are quite heat tolerant. No pest problems. Reseeds. Reliable. Superb alongside perovskia.
