50 Seeds Engelmann Daisy Engelmannia peristenia Native Perennial Drought Tolerant Yellow Blooms
Engelmann Daisy is a native perennial wildflower known for its cheerful yellow blooms and deeply lobed gray-green foliage. It forms a tidy clumping rosette and flowers over a long season, adding bright color to prairies, meadows, pollinator gardens, and low-water landscapes. Its rugged nature and long bloom period make it a dependable choice for naturalized areas and sunny borders.
The blooms are excellent for cut arrangements and provide nectar for bees and butterflies, while the plant itself works well in xeriscapes, wildflower mixes, and border plantings. It grows as a low-maintenance, clump-forming perennial that returns year after year in suitable climates and looks especially good massed in native plant gardens.
