Notes

Stemmy four-nerve daisy (Tetraneuris scaposa) is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, containers, and low maintenance plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Yellow flowers appear often, even through the winter months, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Elijah Blue blue fescue, Delmara orange ice plant, and American century plant.
