Lovely little daisy. Easy and very adaptable to it's conditions.. I have two plants. One where it gets lots of water, and one where it is almost in drought conditions. Both are happy and doing well.

Painted daisys are usually red, white or pink. The foliage is fernlike. Cut the stems to the ground after they bloom and they will flower again in late summer. They are great for cut flowers lasting almost a week. The flower heads are used to make Pyrethrum, a chemical used to kill insects.
