Heat & drought tolerant is an understatement. Mine was planted along a gravel driveway in ugly, unimproved Nevada baked clay soil. Full sun with summer temps well over 100F for weeks on end. Did I mention average humidity of less than 10%?

It not only survives but thrives AND has been evergreen for me. This is a MUST HAVE plant for all desert gardeners.

I tried 3 times to find a micro-habitat on my rock hill where it would be happy enough to survive in what is supposed to be zone 5, but it just never made it through a winter. It's so beautiful either closed or open!

Neutral mystic On Feb 7, 2003, mystic from Ewing, KY (Zone 6a) wrote:

Mat forming perennial with ferny type foliage. The white daisy like flowers have a red stripe on the reverse side of the petals. Making a pretty bloom even when the blooms are closed. Flowers close in the evenings and when cloudy. Needs full sun and good drainage. Good to use as a ground cover or in rock gardens.Heat and drought tolerant.
