Also known as Engelmann Daisy, this easy-to-grow perennial blooms from February to November, but mostly from March to July. At the base of the plant, the leaves are 6" to 12" long and deeply lobed, giving this wildflower the name Cutleaf Daisy. The foliage is very attractive on its own. Cut back the bloom stems when they have passed their prime, and the plant will be set to bloom again when conditions suit it. Cutleaf Daisies are a non-invasive perennial, but will re-seed themselves when conditions are right. They form a deep tap-root, which ensures that they will be there in dry or wet years. Plant them at the back of a flower border, and thin to about 1 foot between plants. Each plant will get larger the second and third years.
Cutleaf Daisy grows best in the wild from North Central Texas to the Edwards Plateau, and down to the open prairies of the South Texas plains. It has been seen as far North as South Dakota, East to Missouri, West to Arizona and South to Mexico. Blooms from March through July. Reaches a height of 1-3ft tall. Texas Native.
