Four Nerve Daisy
Tetraneuris scaposa
Four Nerve Daisy grows as a low tuft of narrow, silvery green leaves topped with cheerful yellow daisies held on wiry stalks well above the foliage. It blooms in every month of the year, including through winter, when little else in a dry, sunny planting is flowering. The clump stays about a foot across and grows slowly, so it suits a rock garden or the front of a border rather than covering ground. It wants sharp drainage and dry soil and resents being watered too often or inconsistently.
