Madia elegans

Don’t pass up this native annual because it looks like a plain yellow daisy in the photo. It’s not! First of all it’s 3’ tall and bushy. Second, its foliage and flowers are stongly pineapple scented! Third, it’s 1.5” flowers pop out in mid-Summer when many of our native blooms are long gone. Attractive velvety leaves too. What’s more – it self-sows reliably for new free plants every year.
