100 Seeds Painted Daisy Glebionis carinata Wildflower for Pollinator Cottage Garden

Painted Daisy, Glebionis carinata, is a cheerful cool-season annual wildflower known for its single and semi-double blooms in shades of red, pink, yellow, and white, each with a bright contrasting center. Blooming over a long window in spring and early summer, it brings a lively, cottage-garden feel to beds, borders, and wildflower plantings and is a favorite of bees and other pollinating insects.
Grow Painted Daisy in sunny, well-drained sites where it can naturalize and self-sow for returning color each season. Its sturdy, upright stems reach roughly 12 to 24 inches and hold up well as a cut flower, while mass plantings create a dense, colorful meadow effect.
