Santa Barbara Daisy is a charming, low-maintenance perennial that thrives in a variety of settings, from cottage gardens to coastal landscapes. Its delicate, daisy-like blooms open white and gradually fade to pink, creating a soft, ever-changing display from spring through fall. This plant is prized for its resilience, long bloom season, and ability to soften pathways, borders, and rock walls.
