This is a lovely low-growing ground cover plant that is easy-to-care-for and thrives in hot, dry soil. Dorotheanthus bellidiformis, commonly called Livingstone Daisy, is free-flowering, and once it is established, it is drought tolerant. The bright colored daisies are 1 inches across and have many long petals around a center black eye. They blooms face straight up and are so cheery! Livingstone Daisy is a perennial only in frost-free zones, but they grow quickly and bloom quickly and can be an annual in all other zones. They love a position in full sun, and they work well edging a border or edging a walkway or driveway. They can handle the heat just fine. Start the seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly outdoors after frost season has passed. Press the seed into the soil and cover it. The seed needs darkness for germination, so cover the seeded area with a box or plastic, and keep it dark and moist. Uncover as soon as germination occurs. With a 70F temperature, germination usually occurs within 21 days.
