Garden Gnome

Anacyclus depressus 'Garden Gnome'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Garden Gnome spreads out to form a tidy mat of fine, fern-like, grey-green foliage. To contrast with the leaves, large white daisy-like flowers blossom with rich red undersides. This plant is perfect for small areas needing groundcover and in rock gardens.

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.
