Available for sale is 15 seeds from a stunning Painted Daisy, Robinson Red. I love planting these with my shasta daisies, as they look like like the black sheep of the bunch. Just spectacular! They stay put right where you plant them, without sending seeds 20 feet away all over the garden bed. They bloom at the same time as most daisies with deep pink and yellow flowers that attract a variety of butterflies throughout the summer. They continue to bloom if dead-headed. The only time I've watered these wonders was when I first planted them. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!
