Half-hardy Annual. This annual is grown for its vividly colored blooms which are daisy-like in appearance and emerge in profusion in the summer sun. Foliage forms a dark green mat and is literally covered in flowers in the summer. If you have slugs in your garden, put slug pellets around the seedlings. For the best blooming performance, remove the faded blooms regularly. Sandy soil and full sun are the keys to good blooms on this fleshy plant. The flowers will not open unless the sun is shining and the Livingstone Daisy does not like heavy or damp soils. In Zones 10 and 11, this selection may perennialize. It is drought tolerant and does not like to be over-watered.
