Blackfoot Daisy

Melampodium leucanthum

A tough, drought-tolerant Texas native, Blackfoot Daisy produces an abundance of cheerful white, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. Its compact, mounding growth habit makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, native landscapes, and water-wise gardens, while its fragrant blooms attract pollinators throughout the warmer months.
