Four Nerve Daisy

Tetraneuris scaposa

Four-nerve daisy, Texas native, is a heat and drought tolerant perennial that can reach 1 foot. It prefers dry, well-drained soils. The grass-like foliage works well in sunny rock gardens, container gardens and borders.Especially desirable because it blooms often throughout the winter months. This yellow blooming long flowered daisy has green foliage all year. It is a great small accent plant where you want a drought tolerant bit of yellow. When in full bloom, Four-nerve Daisy can appear covered with flowers; 1 inch flower heads are found on each leafless stalk.  The individual flowers are long lasting. Bright-yellow flowers are mostly found from February through early summer, although Four-nerve Daisy has been known to show flowers almost every day of the year even in the northern part of the state.   

Four-nerve Daisy prefers full sun and must have good drainage but will grow in almost any soil.  Water new plants and once established they shouldn't need supplemental water.  Four-nerve Daisy is very drought tolerant.
