Damianita Daisy

Chrysactinia mexicana

If you love the color yellow, you’ll absolutely want to plant Damianita Daisy into your landscape! A native of the high Chihuahuan desert, Chrysactinia Mexicana features bright yellow daisy-like flowers and aromatic green leaves that can add a splash of color into any landscape. Though they look dainty, these are actually tough and durable and able to endure extreme heat as well as low winter temperatures. These shrubs are a great accent for residential water-wise landscapes, especially when planted with Agaves, Aloes and Yuccas! We also love to plant them in rock gardens or used as a groundcover for hillsides - mass planting can create a vibrant yellow carpet-like scene from spring to fall that you have to see to believe!

Damianita Daisy have a slow to moderate growth rate and love to grow in an area that receives plenty of full sun exposure. Once established they are very drought tolerant and will have low to moderate watering needs. These compact shrubs are loved for their long blooming period and easy care features!
