It features a bushy, upright habit with lance-shaped leaves. • Flower Quality: The daisy-like flowers are 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) in diameter, with vibrant red centers surrounded by yellow or orange petals.

Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance.
Cultivation Guidelines:
1. Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil without covering, as they require light for germination. 2.

Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. 4. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
