Notes
Painted daisy (Ismelia carinata) is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, so it fills a bed or pot with ease. Flowers open from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn. Soil pH can be acid, alkaline, or neutral.
Pairs well with Stock, Nigra hollyhock, Drumstick primrose, and Red fescue.
