Dahlberg daisy is a bushy, much-branched little annual with deeply divided, threadlike leaves and a profusion of small yellow daisy flowers. It has a trailing habit, getting 6-12 in (15.2-30.5 cm) high and spreading a little wider. The leaves have a pungent, lemony odor when crushed or bruised. The flower heads are about a 0.5 in (1.3 cm) across with bright golden, orange or yellow rays and yellow disks. 'Golden Cascade' and 'Shooting Star' are named selections. Location
Culture
Usage Dahlberg daisy is used as a spring and summer bedding plant for masses of color. It is good where a low edging is needed, providing color for several months. Dahlberg daisy also makes an excellent showing in a porch planter or a hanging basket. It blooms for several months, but flowers best in late summer when temperatures begin to cool a bit. Dahlberg daisy is well adapted to calcareous or limey soils and will usually self-sow under such conditions.
