Year-round bloom and a fantastic com­pact habit make this one of my favorite recommendations for new gardeners, as well as everyone else! Selected by Tex­as nurseryman Tom Peace, this highly improved form of (usually 3’ tall) “Blue Marguerite Daisy” stays a dense 16” x 36”. Bursting into a mass of blue daisies in Spring, it keeps going all the way to Winter when deadheaded. No straggly behavior over time! Drought, clay and sand tolerant, side-dress with an annual dose of compost and cut back to 6” tall in Winter. Evergreen.
