Engelmannia peristenia Engelmannia persitenia, fondly called Engelmann Daisy or cutleaf daisy, boasts sturdy stems that form a lovely rounded crown, reaching branches up to two feet high. This charming plant showcases long-stalked, sunny yellow flowers with eight delicate petals that begin to bloom in the late afternoon. However, they can fold up the next day when faced with extreme heat and sunlight. Each bloom is about 1.5 inches wide and gathers in delightful terminal clusters. With eight to ten rays, each flower is half an inch long, indented at the tip, and proudly presents eight to ten petals. The winter rosette leaves are deeply cleft and have subtle toothed edges, adding to their unique character. Engelmann Daisy thrives happily in dry conditions and often graces our roadsides with its cheerful presence. It belongs to the Engelmannia genus, which is special for housing only this one species. Each plant forms a resilient evergreen rosette with deeply lobed leaves, showcasing its wonderful heat and drought tolerance. Plus, birds just love its seeds.
