Blooms anytime from April to November. This is one tough plant! It can get a bit tall, so plant in the right location, but you can prune it back also. Propagates easily from seed. A bit too easily perhaps...best in a "natural" area. Small plants are not so easily dug up, deep tap root develops after a while. May or may not become dormant in winter, depending on temperatures in your area. Named for the green composite head. Closely related to B. Lyrata, or Chocolate Daisy. |
