Description:
Montauk Daisy offers white, daisy-like flowers, which bloom July-August. Deadhead flowers to stimulate a continuous bloom. Montauk Daisy forms rosettes of succulent green leaves above leafless stems. It grows well in nutrient-poor, sandy soil. Its high drought and salt tolerance, as well as its ability to grow in sandy soils, makes it a perfect plant for the seaside garden. Use it in mid-borders mixed with diversely textured and colored flowers. Montauk Daisy makes an excellent cut flower for bouquets.
