Tips On Growing Hymenoxys (Sundancer Daisy)

Hymenoxys (Sundancer Daisy) is a genus of native wildflowers native primarily to the Western US. They are completely rabbit and deer resistant.

Preferred growing conditions:

• Plant in a fast draining, infertile soil with full sun. Don't plant in clay soils.
• Mulch with gravel or not at all.
• Water regularly the first growing season to establish the plant. There after, infrequent but deep watering is all this plant needs.
• Deadheading helps to keep the foliage looking tidy, but may not extend the flowering season.
• Fertilize lightly in the fall with Yum Yum Mix.

Special comments:

• Hymenoxys can be short-lived perennials and should be encouraged to re-seed themselves by leaving some seed heads on the plants and mulching with small diameter gravel mulch.
• Hymenoxys are generally tap-rooted perennials and should not be divided.
• Many have evergreen foliage that should not be cut back. Trimming off the old flowering stems is sufficient to keep the plants looking good.
