Tahoka Daisy (Machaeranthera tanacetifolia) is an drought tolerant and long-blooming annual wildflower that features fern-like divided foliage topped with aster-like purple flowers that last from spring until fall. These flowers attract native pollinators including bees and butterflies. Tahoka daisy makes a wonderful addition to pollinator gardens, short grass prairie plantings, rock gardens, or on slopes. Giving some supplemental water during dry periods will encourage more prolific blooming.
