A compact mounding habit with masses of purplish blue daisy flowers for most of the year are the features that define this variety of native daisy. Use it as a border plant for garden beds, as a feature plant for rockeries, or as a potted plant for balconies and decks. Trim it back after each flush of flowers finishes.
