Dahlberg Daisy (Thymophylla Tenuiloba Gold Carpet) -Dahlberg daisy is a bushy, much-branched little annual with deeply divided, threadlike leaves and a profusion of small yellow daisy flowers which makes an excellent ground cover plant. It has a trailing habit, getting 6 - 8 inches high and spreading a little wider. The leaves have a pungent, lemony odor when crushed or bruised. The flower heads are about a 1/2 inch across with bright golden yellow rays and yellow disks.
Dahlberg daisy is normally treated as an annual, but sometimes survives for a second or third season in frost free areas. In USDA zones 9B-11, Dahlberg daisy can be planted in fall for winter or spring blooming.
Dahlberg daisy is used as a spring and summer ground cover plant for masses of color. It is good where a low edging is needed, providing color for several months. Dahlberg daisy also makes an excellent showing in a porch planter or a hanging basket. It blooms for several months, but flowers best in late summer when temperatures begin to cool a bit. Dahlberg daisy is well adapted to calcareous or limey soils and will usually self-sow under such conditions. Dahlberg daisies are quite tolerant of dry conditions and suffer during periods of high rainfall and humidity.
