This plant called Angelita daisy is a
hardy, native wildflower that really grows wild in dry, open grasslands and
deserts across some of the western United States. This plant actually blooms
throughout spring and summer in most climates, although if you live in a climate
with mild winters, you will really enjoy the bright yellow, daisy-like flowers
all year long.
Furthermore, these plants called Angelita
daisies (Tetraneuris acaulis syn. Hymenoxys acaulis) are really suitable for
growing in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 8. Angelita daisy is a perennial
plant and is so tough to easily withstand sub-freezing temperatures as low as
-20 F. (-29 C.), although it can actually go dormant at about 10 F. (-12 C.).
During summer period, the plant can tolerates punishing heat, although it will
begin to flag when the mercury soars to 105 F. (41 C.).
Angelita daisy tops out
at about eight inches, with a spread of about twelve to eighteen inches. Angelita
daisy displays mounds of fragrant, and also grassy leaves, which are normally
blanketed with masses of 1 1/2-inch blooms. These particular plants are happy
in mass plantings, also in borders or edges, as a ground cover plant, and even
in containers. Angelita daisy is perfect for a wildflower meadow garden or rock
garden. This plant is highly attractive to butterflies and native bees.

in dry, rocky soil. Why in the garden, Angelita daisy tolerates dry or average
soil and it can even withstands poor, clay soil, although the soil must be well
drained, because the plant will rot
quickly in soggy soil. The plant needs full sunlight. Angelita daisy can tolerates
filtered shade, but blooming will reduced. Don’t forget that in its natural
environment, the plant does just fine with no human interference, which means
