Asteriscus sericeus * Canary Island Daisy |
|
Asteriscus sericeus forms a low mound 2-3 feet tall that is almost always covered in yellow blooms. The Canary Island
Daisy can get as much as 4 feet across. The hairs on the leaves give the Canary Island Daisy a silvery sheen. Asteriscus
sericeus is hardy to 15 degrees. I have found them to be very drought tolerant, though they look best in our area with at
bi-monthly irrigation. The flowers of Asteriscus sericeus are approximately 1.5" in diameter and almost always in bloom.
Asteriscus sericeus will tolerate some partial afternoon shade, and may appreciate it in hot inland gardens.
High resolution images of Asteriscus sericeus are available.
