One plant of Santa Barbara Daisy spreads out to about two feet and lazily reaches maybe 8 inches in height. It is one of the first flowers in spring and one of the last flowers to stop in winter. It prefers a coastal climate and the interior heat of summer does make it shut down. But, as soon as the weather is a cool again in fall, it perks right up and blooms until hard frost. It also reseeds well. We recommend cutting it back to the ground at the end of summer bloom or at least at the end of fall bloom.
