A burst of golden fire, Gloriosa Daisy is a classic American wildflower reborn in cottage gardens around the world. Its petals flare outward in rich shades of amber, bronze, mahogany, and sunlit gold, circling the deep, velvety cone at its center like rays around the sun.
 
Native to North America and cherished since colonial times, it was once gathered from the wild prairies and naturalized in gardens for its unmatched durability. Hardy, pollinator-friendly, and brilliantly long-blooming, it thrives in heat, drought, and neglect, rewarding you with endless color from midsummer to frost.
 
Each plant forms a sturdy clump of rough, green leaves topped by blooms that can reach 4–6 inches across. Perfect for borders, naturalized meadows, and long-lasting cut flowers, Gloriosa Daisies glow with that warm, nostalgic brightness that makes every garden feel like a golden field at sunset.
