Fancy Pants Daisies, also known as Tricolour or Painted Daisies, are a bright and joyful variety. These beauties are a Mediterranean native, typically growing 2-3 feet tall. Their blooms are multicoloured: white, yellow, burnt orange, pink, red, and lavender, with a striping pattern that makes them look tie-dyed–groovy! Fancy Pants Daisies benefit from being deadheaded, to promote further blooming. We hope these delightful daisies bring a splash of cheer to your garden this summer!
