Positive kdaustin On Sep 13, 2008, kdaustin from Austin, TX (Zone 8b) wrote:

Sweet little white daisies are produced nearly year round in my zone 8b garden. Only about 3" tall, spreading out about 2'. Drought tolerant. I also had it growing for years in a large pot where it trailed over the size, when the pot broke I moved it into the ground. Oddly, while people asked what it was in the pot, it has gotten no comments since being planted in a bed a few feet away as a groundcover for my roses.
