These tiny daisies pack serious charm into a surprisingly resilient plant. The flowers bloom prolifically over a long season, and because it's deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, it keeps performing even when conditions get tough. At just 10-12 inches tall with an 8-inch spread, it fits neatly into containers, borders, or rock gardens without needing fussy maintenance.
Purple Splendor Swan River Daisy excels in container gardens, hanging baskets, and border fronts where its compact, spreading habit and continuous blooms create visual impact. It's equally at home in rock gardens or as a pollinator-friendly accent in mixed flower beds.
