The plant you love to neglect! Little-known and less appreciated, Dahlberg Daisy (also known as Golden Fleece) is a quiet treasure for baskets, containers, and the garden. No seed is easier to grow, and once the blooms begin, you can forget about it for days on end . . . but you won't, because the cheery yellow daisies, framed in very lush, ferny foliage, are too eye-catching!
Native to Texas and Mexico, this annual (technically it's a tender perennial, but unless you're in zone 9, 10, or 11, you'll be growing it as an annual) sets wonderfully fragrant, finely cut foliage of brightest green. The leaves are topped for months on end by brilliant blooms an inch across,arising in spring and summer. Just about a foot high and wide, this plant packs a lot of interest into a small space!
Sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last frost. Then, once the seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves, transplant them 6 inches apart in any sunny to partly-shady spot. Dahlberg Daisy is not fussy about garden soil.
Primarily used as in hanging baskets because its size is just right for a bushy, color-drenched display, it is invaluable for those patches of poor soil where little else is happy. Use it as you would any other wildflower to create come-again color in any inhospitable patch of soil. And it makes a sunny, big-impact edging or window-box choice! This cheerful flower was recommended in the March 2014 issue of Southern Living thanks to its vibrant bright yellow blooms! Discover the joy of this underused native plant! Pkt is 100 seeds.
A vigorous annual for use as filler in borders, as a bedding plant, and in baskets and showy container displays. Habit is multi-branching and upright from 8-12 inches tall by 12 inches wide. From spring to summer, plants are covered in 1/2-1 inch diameter, daisy-like flowers. The disk and ray florets are both yellow. The green, 3/4-1 inch long, ferny foliage is pungent with a fragrance reminiscent of Thyme

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
