The Wayne Roderick Seaside Daisy is a celebrated California native perennial, perfected for the garden from the coastal bluffs. It forms a low, spreading mound of succulent, spoon-shaped, gray-green leaves that are highly salt and drought tolerant. From spring into summer, it erupts in a profuse and charming display of lavender-blue daisies with bright yellow centers. This easy-care, resilient plant is a cornerstone of coastal and water-wise gardens, perfect for softening edges, spilling over walls, and attracting a parade of pollinators.
