Four Nerve Daisy

Description:

Four-nerve Daisy, also know as Hymenoxys, Stemmy Four-nerve Daisy and Slender-stem Bitterweed is native to Texas and surrounding states and has been found as far north as Kansas. It is a short, upright perennial with a woody base that can reach 1 ft in height. The long narrow leaves of gray-green foliage form a clump from which the flower stems arise. When in full bloom, Four-nerve Daisy can appear covered with flowers; 1 inch flower heads are found on each leafless stalk. The individual flowers are long lasting. Bright-yellow flowers are mostly found from February through early summer, although Four-nerve Daisy has been known to show flowers almost every day of the year even in the northern part of the state.
