I can't recall if I have ever seen Sleepy Daisy available here or if I ignored it because it was an annual. I am always afraid that annuals will not bloom and I will not have more for next year. I will have to track this one down, especially if it blooms at this time of year. It is even native to northern portions of Texas, according to BONAP. http://www.bonap.org/BONAPmaps2010/Xanthisma.htmlMichael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-5218673877795644632013-08-31T17:38:44.266-05:002013-08-31T17:38:44.266-05:00I never heard of this daisy either, but it is a li...I never heard of this daisy either, but it is a little treasure.

My cowpen daisy came to me as an added bonus is some nursery transplants that I picked up a few years back. It's a great native that's popular with both the butterflies and the bees. As an added bonus, wildflower.org says it's deer resistance is high. Might be worth checking out.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430849998788960134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-75752838729290934052013-08-29T13:08:53.233-05:002013-08-29T13:08:53.233-05:00Cute flower and I love the name sleepy daisy!Cute flower and I love the name sleepy daisy!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-7754623243848731642013-08-29T06:26:46.818-05:002013-08-29T06:26:46.818-05:00Always curious about a new plant I can try from se...Always curious about a new plant I can try from seed.
