Notes
Dahlberg daisy (Thymophylla tenuiloba) is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and ground cover. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Its yellow flowers attract butterflies and bees, and the fragrant, drought tolerant plant blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Pink, Sedge, and Lemon Coral sedum.
