About Dahlberg Daisy
A compact, mounding warm-season annual native to Texas and Mexico, covered in small golden-yellow daisy-like flowers above finely divided, thread-like aromatic foliage. In Northeast Florida it is grown as a cool-season annual, planted in fall for winter-through-spring color, thriving in lean sandy soil and drought conditions before declining in summer heat and humidity. Starting at $6.95.

Care essentials
Light
Plant Dahlberg Daisy in full sun — at least 6–8 hours of direct sun per day is required for best flowering. It performs poorly in any shade and thrives in Florida's intense sunlight.
Water
Water deeply but infrequently; once established, Dahlberg Daisy is highly drought-tolerant and needs little supplemental irrigation in Northeast Florida. Overwatering in the warm, humid season causes root rot — let soil dry between waterings.
Soil & Fertilizer
Thrives in sandy, lean, well-drained soil — Florida's native sandy soils are ideal. Avoid rich or amended soils that retain moisture. Fertilize minimally; a light application of balanced slow-release fertilizer at planting is sufficient, as excess nitrogen promotes foliage over flowers.
