Very hard to come by seeds, the Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium leucanthum) is a tough, cheerful little plant native to the arid landscapes of the American Southwest. It forms a low, spreading mound of fine, gray-green foliage that stays tidy and compact, making it a natural fit for rock gardens, xeriscapes, or sunny borders. From spring through fall, it produces a constant display of small, white daisy-like flowers with sunny yellow centers. The blossoms have a faint, honey-sweet fragrance and seem to glow against the silvery foliage, attracting butterflies and pollinators throughout the growing season.
 
This plant thrives on neglect and is happiest in poor, rocky, or sandy soils with excellent drainage. It loves full sun and doesn’t mind heat, wind, or drought once established. It is a short lived perennial, returning year after year for several seasons in zones 5-9 and also produces seed. It is often grown as an annual in climates below zone 5. It has a tendency to reseed gently, popping up here and there as well. Blackfoot Daisy is a favorite among gardeners who want reliable color with minimal fuss, especially in dry, tough spots where other plants struggle.
