Sea Daisy Flower Seeds Leptosyne maritima Scientific name: Leptosyne maritima Sea Daisy, Leptosyne maritima. A rare perennial plant, highly branched, easy and fast-growing, grows from a thick root, reaching a height of 10-40 cm and sometimes up to 80 cm. It is considered one of the most beautiful flowers in spring, with yellow flowers resembling yellow chrysanthemums shimmering above clusters of bright green leaves.

Its leaves are bright green, serrated, mostly linear in shape, and each flower head is surrounded by deep green clusters. By summer, both flowers and leaves disappear. It is characterized by wind resistance and does not tolerate frost. Its native habitat is the United States of America. Propagation: by seeds. Soil type: suitable for planting in sandy, dry soil.
