The stems can root where they are in contact with the ground. The large daisy-like flowers are white with a steel blue center that is encircled by a band of yellow. Hardy to 25-30 degrees F. We offered this plant in the past but because of its short shelf lif (it just grows too fast!) we stopped growing it but brought it back into production in 2010 because so many customers have requested it after seeig our extensive planting of it in the nursery.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
