Overview
Bush daisy is a rounded evergreen flowering shrub with finely divided gray-green foliage and cheerful yellow daisy flowers.
Mature Size and Habit
It generally reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, developing a dense mound when lightly pruned.
Best Landscape Uses
Use it in sunny borders, foundation beds, containers, or repeating masses for cool-season color.
Sunlight
Full sun is best for dense growth and abundant flowers.
Soil, Drainage, and Irrigation
Plant in sharply drained soil. Once established it handles short dry periods better than wet, poorly aerated beds.
Best Planting Season for Tampa and Central Florida
Fall through early spring is ideal in Tampa, allowing strong flowering before the wettest summer weather.
Pruning and Maintenance
Deadhead or lightly shear after bloom flushes and remove weak interior growth. Replace declining plants when summer heat and humidity reduce vigor.
Wildlife Value
The flowers attract bees and butterflies.
Cold and Heat Sensitivity
It enjoys mild Florida winters but may decline during prolonged summer heat, humidity, and heavy rain. Hard freezes can damage stems.
Safety, Roots, and Placement Warnings
No major toxicity, thorn, or aggressive-root concern is commonly reported.
Invasive Concerns
It is not native to Florida and is not generally considered invasive in maintained landscapes.
