Okay.

Hope your daughter gets better... We understand Hazel.

One of these days we will be able to do the rounds with you.

:-)

Thanks, Deb.

Damianita daisy (Chrysactinia mexicana)
Subshrub

I planted these from 4 inch pots in the Spring of 2010 in full-sun on a slope with western (lots of afternoon sun) exposure and they have thrived through several extremely dry summers with very little supplemental watering.

They are low-growing (about 1') and spread out to maybe 2' across. They bloom profusely in early March with lovely yellow blossoms all over. I have had them re-bloom if we have a rainy period. They are evergreen with dark-green foliage. Excellent for the front of a bed. They pair well with Pink Skullcap (scutellaria suffrutescens) here in Texas which blooms more during the late spring/summer.

Mine have reseeded but not profusely and just nearby. Sounds like they are more prone to reseed in rocky (Hill Country conditions) -- mine are growing in a mulched bed with some top soil.
