Additional Information: Lazy Daisy is a tough, low-growing native wildflower known for its bright white petals and yellow centers, resembling a classic daisy. It thrives in dry, open areas such as prairies, roadsides, and sandy soils, making it a great choice for naturalized plantings. The name "Lazy Daisy" comes from its habit of opening in the late morning and closing in the afternoon. This adaptable plant attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies while requiring minimal maintenance, making it a charming and resilient addition to wildflower gardens and prairie restorations.
