desert daisy succulent Blackfoot Daisy Plant SetsBring a touch of honey scented charm to your most sun drenched spaces with Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium leucanthum), also known as Plains Blackfoot. This rugged, low growing native perennial forms a neat, mounded cushion of grayish green foliage that stays evergreen in many regions. From spring through the first frost, it covers itself so densely in white, daisy like flowers with bright yellow centers that the foliage can almost disappear from view.

Bring a touch of honey-scented charm to your most sun-drenched spaces with Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium leucanthum), also known as Plains Blackfoot. This rugged, low-growing native perennial forms a neat, mounded cushion of grayish-green foliage that stays evergreen in many regions. From spring through the first frost, it covers itself so densely in white, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers that the foliage can almost disappear from view.

Superbly adapted to arid environments, Blackfoot Daisy is a "sturdy" survivor that thrives where other plants might wilt. Whether tucked into a rock garden, used as a xeric groundcover, or massed in a wildflower meadow, its prolific blooms and sweet fragrance make it an essential choice for sustainable, low-water landscapes.

Key Features:

  • Honey-Scented Blooms: Produces an abundance of 1-inch wide, solitary flowers that emit a pleasant, light honey fragrance.
  • Pollinator & Wildlife Friendly: The nectar-rich flowers are a favorite for butterflies, and the plant provides value for local birds.
  • Extreme Drought Tolerance: This "dryland native" is perfectly suited for xeric gardens and can thrive on natural rainfall alone once established.
  • Deer Resistant: Naturally unappealing to browsing deer, ensuring your garden stays lush and colorful.
  • Extended Bloom Season: Delivers consistent color from March through November, peaking in the spring and fall.
  • Compact Habit: Typically grows 6–12 inches tall and roughly twice as wide, creating a tidy, mounded appearance.
  • Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in sets of three, six, or 12 plants to suit any garden size.

Why Choose Blackfoot Daisy?

Blackfoot Daisy is the ultimate "lean and mean" beauty for the Southwest and High Plains. It is specifically adapted to low-fertility, rocky, or sandy soils where it outshines more delicate species. While it may be short-lived compared to some shrubs, it often reseeds naturally, ensuring its cheerful presence remains in your garden year after year. It is the perfect twin to the White Zinnia but offers a broader range and more robust flowering.

Planting Tips:

  1. Location: Thrives in full sun and reflected heat. It is mandatory to provide excellent drainage; it will not tolerate "wet feet" or heavy clay. Prefers lean, rocky, gravelly, or sandy soils. Avoid rich soils or fertilizers, as these can actually shorten the plant's lifespan.
  2. Watering: Water regularly only during the first growing season to establish the root mass. Once mature, reduce frequency significantly; over-watering is the most common cause of failure.
  3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.

Companion Planting: Pairs beautifully with Penstemon and Blanketflower (Gaillardia) for a classic, drought-tolerant display.

Love the Edition and Footnotes; Don't need the Cultural Criticisms
Format: Paperback
The layout of the book and the footnotes are each great. What mars the book, unfortunately, is the editor's need to make simplistic statements about cultural elements. Several times, for example, he addresses "feminism," even using the term "Franken-feminists" in a puerile manner at one point. As too many of these conservative Catholics do, he simplifies and comments about modern culture without nuance. In this case, it is simply unprofessional and inaccurate (i) to not capture the myriad differences in feminist thought (many of which he and his readers would accept) and (ii) thereby to make all feminists the same (e.g,, assuming the feminists of the 1970's are the same as today's.) This is all unfortunate because when he is just addressing the literary elements of the book, his comments are wonderful and helpful to the reader. Any reader should know that this presentation will be tilted in an unsophisticated and simplistic way toward a traditional Catholic view (a view that can indeed be defended well while still being careful and charitable to critics). With that caveat, he (or she) should still buy it and garner a good edition of the text.

Great edition
Format: Paperback
Love Ignatius critical editions. There are so many scholarly essays that are so vague and uninteresting, or worse, try to de-construct the writer's work. Ignatius critical editions' essays are wonderful and do not miss the timeless point of the great literature the series brings forth.

Especially loved the forward
Format: Paperback
Especially loved the forward. I did not expect at all Joseph Pearce's take on the book! Buy this particular edition of Frankenstein if you wish to learn more than you anticipated about the author. I had no idea!
