Dahlberg Daisy

Thymophylla tenuiloba
The small but mighty Dahlberg daisy is a powerhouse bloomer with neat tussocks of grass-green threadlike foliage cloaked with 3/4" gold flowers for months. Carefree and heat-loving, we are thrilled with how it transforms large containers into cheerful beacons of gold.
