Daisy fleabane is an annual wildflower that produces small white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers from late spring through fall. It self-seeds readily and can form naturalized colonies in sunny areas with average moisture.

In an HOA neighborhood

Daisy Fleabane takes more care to keep looking intentional in a front yard. Maintenance level: low. Consider it for backyard or mid-zone beds rather than the street edge.

Works well in: backyard only.

  • Looks weedy and informal
  • Self-seeds aggressively
  • Dies back completely as annual

Wildlife value

The long blooming season provides nectar for bees, butterflies, and beneficial beetles throughout much of the growing season.

Native range data from the USDA PLANTS Database and regional native plant society lists. Pollinator and host plant associations compiled from GBIF, iNaturalist, and published ecological literature.
