Fleabane Daisy Seeds

Fleabane Daisy (or sometimes known as Aspen Daisy) is common in mountain meadows and aspen forests throughout the western mountains. A mid-season blooming perennial, it does best in full to partial sun, tolerates dry to moist soils, but prefers well-drained soil that is not too rich. A showy, vigorous plant with violet flowers that attracts butterflies, it will form colonies that can be divided when they begin to overlap. Does well in the home garden, rock garden, and pollinator garden. Very low-maintenance and carefree!
