Engelmann Daisy, or Cutleaf Daisy, is an easy-to-grow perennial wildflower native to Texas that blooms from February to November. The deeply lobed foliage is very attractive on its own. This plant will reseed on its own over time. 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
The yellow ray and disk flower heads can measure from 1-2” in diameter and in the intense heat the eight rays or petals of the flower heads curl under giving it a unique appearance. A diversity of birds & butterflies depend on Cutleaf Daisy for a nutritional food source. The yellow flowers give a ray of hope even in the driest times. The plant sprouts in the fall and forms a basal formation or winter rosette until spring when stems shoot up and the yellow daisies begin to emerge. Cutleaf Daisy is definitely worth adding to any landscape for an easy yellow show of blooms for spring and summer.
