Cutleaf Daisy (Engelmannia peristenia) is a resilient perennial herb, thriving in the toughest conditions, making it a favorite for roadsides and drought-prone areas. With its bright yellow flowers, this daisy adds a burst of color to wildflower meadows and garden borders from early spring to mid-summer. The deeply cleft, evergreen leaves form a robust rosette, providing year-round interest. Its seeds are highly favored by birds, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. Despite its beauty and benefits, Cutleaf Daisy is not deer-resistant and may be grazed by livestock.
