Neutral poppysue On Nov 29, 2001, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote:

Tripteris is a bushy annual with fleshy felt-like foliage. It provides a long season of bright orange daisies that open early in the morning and roll their petals back in the heat of the day. It is tolerent of dry soils and likes a sunny spot in the garden. Flowers can be cut for arrangements but some may find the foliage has an offensive smell.
