Asteriscus maritimus * Sea Daisy, Sea Aster |
|
Asteriscus maritimus forms a low mound up to a foot tall that is almost always covered in yellow blooms. The
Sea Daisy can get as much as 3 feet across but is more often closer to 2 feet. The Sea Daisy can be found as a
compact cultivar, Asteriscus maritimus Compact Gold Coin, or Gold Coin Daisy. Asteriscus maritimus is hardy to
15 degrees. I have found the Sea Daisy to be very drought tolerant, though when tested, by mid summer there are
very few flowers and the foliage is pretty tired looking. Asteriscus maritimus looks best in our area with
bi-monthly irrigation or even weekly irrigation in hotter inland gardens. The flowers are approximately 1" in
diameter and almost always blooming.
