Texas Green-Eyes, Berlandiera texana. Perennial, moderately xeriscape, needs well-drained soil, can grow in sand, loam, clay or caliche (yes!). Tolerates full sun or partly sunny. 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.
