Coastal Tidy Tips

Tidy tips produces 12-16-inch mounds of divided leaves densely covered in yellow daisy-like flowers with snowy white tips. Once established, it is drought tolerant. It is one of the first species of annuals to bloom in its native habitat. It is not fussy about soils, thriving even in clay, and it attracts butterflies.
