KELWAY GOLDEN CHAMOMILE

Perennial USDA zones 3-7. Cheerful yellow blooms atop lacy foliage. Also known as Marguerite daisy, this sunny yellow bloom is carefree and wildly attractive to pollinators, especially honeybees. An undemanding perennial native to the rocky steppes and dry grasslands of the Middle East will grow easily in dry and poor soil under full sun in your garden. Clumping plants reach 3 feet tall, blooms average 1.5 inch across. This is a fantastic traditional dye plant, yielding a gorgeous gold to yellow color for textiles and craft projects! Plants will eagerly bloom from summer to fall, deadheading will extend this beautiful show. Easily self seeds.
