Nipponanthemum Nipponicum (Montauk Daisy)

Montauk Daisies (Nipponanthemum nipponicum) are late bloomers, their 3" flowers appearing in September and October on sturdy, upright stems above glossy foliage. Given good drainage, plants are tough, long-lived, and trouble free.

This genus is made up of one species of perennials from the coastal regions of Japan. The crisp, white Daisy-like blooms sparkle in the fall garden, and bunches of blossoms can be cut to bring indoors. Grow in full sun in well-drained soil and cut back in spring to keep plants looking their best.
