Painted Daisy

Tanacetum coccineum

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Upright growing herbaceous perennial. Lacy green leaves grow in thick clumps with red to dark-pink flowers growing on tall stems. Blooms profusely in late-spring and will rebloom in the fall if dead flowers are removed. Flowers perform well as cut flowers and will work in bouquets. Prefers organic soils and plenty of water.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
