Frequently Asked Questions
Discover useful information about Mexican Daisy flowers, spreading growth, and garden uses.
Why do Mexican Daisy flowers change from white to pink?
Mexican Daisy flowers naturally change color as they mature. Newly opened flowers are generally white with yellow centers, while older blooms gradually develop pink and purplish shades. This creates a multicolored appearance because flowers at different stages can appear on the plant simultaneously.
Is Mexican Daisy a good ground cover for walls and rock gardens?
Yes. Mexican Daisy has a spreading growth habit that makes it suitable for rock gardens, retaining walls, paving gaps, and garden edging. Its branching stems can spread over edges and produce numerous small flowers. Monitor its growth because it can self-seed and spread beyond its intended planting area.
Does Mexican Daisy bloom all summer and attract butterflies?
Mexican Daisy can produce flowers over a long period from spring through fall in suitable climates. Its small, open flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Full sunlight and well-drained soil help support abundant flowering.
