From the Central Sierras portion of the Andes Mountains in Argentina, comes this showy mounding daisy with broad yellow butterfly-attracting flowers. Somewhat resembling a single-flowering Dahlia, Argentine Zexmenia is dotted with blooms from spring through frost. A tough and heat tolerant plant, it keeps a tidy shape without getting leggy, making it a perfect choice for patio containers. It will look even better if it is dead-headed a few times during the growing season. We are most likely the only source for this unique South American plant so it is definitely not something that everyone else will have.
