Tidy Tips (Layia Platyglossa) - Grown from Tidy Tips wild flower seed, these daisy-like little annuals are charming and so cheerful! Tidy Tips are a native of California. The Tidy Tip plants produce 1 - 1 1/2 inch flowers that are bright golden yellow with distinct, sharp-margined white tips — hence their name. Leaves are small and narrow. Tidy Tips make an excellent cut flower and are perfect for rock gardens. They also look great in flower boxes and in the front of a border.
Sow Tidy Tips wild flower seed as soon as the ground can be prepared in the spring. Sow the wild flower seeds on the surface of a prepared seed bed and lightly cover with soil. Tidy Tips wild flower seed will produce blooms 14 weeks after sowing.
Tidy Tips grow quickly from seed, bloom heavily and die with the first frost. Like most annuals, it can reseed for the next season if the Tidy Tips wild flower seed falls on bare ground. Some gardeners will sow Tidy Tips wild flower seed in early spring and again in summer to prolong the bloom season.
