Butter Daisy Seeds

Butter Daisy Seeds - Irish Plants Direct

Butter Daisy is a bright and carefree annual from Central and South America, prized for its constant display of golden blooms and its ability to thrive in warm, sunny conditions.

 

The plants form bushy, rounded mounds of fresh green foliage, topped with a profusion of daisy like flowers about 2.5–3 cm across.

 

Unlike many bedding plants, Butter Daisy requires no deadheading spent blooms drop cleanly, and new flowers appear continuously from early summer until frost. This makes it a low maintenance choice for gardeners seeking long lasting colour.
