The Tahoka Daisy is a stunning annual or biennial wildflower featuring vibrant lavender-blue flowers with sunny yellow centers. These beautiful 2-inch purple blooms sit atop delicate, fern-like foliage and stems growing to a height of 1-2 feet. Native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, this hardy, drought-tolerant beauty has long-lasting blooms, blooming from late spring to early autumn. Tahoka Daisy has the remarkable ability of thriving in poor, dry soils where many other plants struggle, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance xeriscaping and planting in drought-prone areas. Plant Tahoka Daisy in a fully sunny area for an added a splash of color to arid landscapes, rock gardens, or wildflower meadows. Tahoka Daisy is highly attractive to bees and butterflies and planting it in your garden can help support local pollinator populations.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 10 - 12 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Plant in late Fall after a killing frost or early Spring before the last average frost date. If Spring-planting after frost, cold-stratify seeds by mixing seeds with moist soil or sand in a resealable bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 weeks before direct sowing. Add 1/2" - 3/4" layer of peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil to top of a mostly sunny and clear area. Broadcast seeds then water to push seeds into area. Keep moist until established. Adaptive, drought-tolerant, self-seeding annual or biennial.| Planting Depth: | 1/8 inch |
