fleabane

Dwarf, all summer blooming, mini daisies with petal colors changing from clean white to rosy-pink to lavender, surrounding lemon yellow centers. They grow in abundance over mounding, fine cut foliage that also changes from green to bronze-red in late summer. Plant in sunny borders and rock gardens.

Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in fall every 2-3 years.
