Engelmann's Daisy

Engelmannia peristenia

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: This perennial offers adorable bright yellow flowers that will bloom for you all summer long. It is a great plant to grow when conditions are not ideal and when care is going to be minimal. When this plant is particularly happy it will reseed itself and grow naturally. It does not grow well in areas with lots of water or deep shade.

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.
