Plant Characteristics

• Appearance: Features bright yellow, large, daisy-like flowers with a light-colored center.
• Height: A compact, dwarf variety that grows up to 12-14 inches (30-35 cm) tall, making it perfect for smaller garden spaces or containers.
• Life Cycle: It is a cool-season annual in most regions, but can be a short-lived perennial in warmer climates.
• Edibility: The flower petals are edible, with a slightly tangy, peppery taste, and can be used in salads or teas. 

Growing Conditions & Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight) but can tolerate light shade in very warm regions.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining, organic soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.1–7.0).
• Watering: Requires moderate watering to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods; avoid overwatering.
• Sowing Season (India): Best sown during the winter season, typically from October to February.
• Maintenance: Low maintenance; regular deadheading (removing spent blooms) will encourage continuous flowering and extend the blooming period.
