Golden Wildflowers with White Tips
Up to 12 plants ship for just $14.99 - so Fill Your Box and Save*
Welcome Spring with the sweet scent and sunny innocence of this delightful California native. Layia platyglossa, affectionately known as Tidy Tips, bursts into bloom with bouncy 2 daisy-like flowers that look as if theyve been hand-paintedbright lemon-yellow centers perfectly ringed with crisp white, scalloped tips. These cheerful blooms seem to radiate sunshine straight into your garden!. Tidy Tips are not just pretty faces; theyre also pollinator magnets. In California, they provide essential nectar for native bees, hoverflies, and especially the Checkerspot butterfly, whose populations rely on native wildflowers like this one.
Growing to about 1214 tall and spreading 1218, this compact annual is ideal for wildflower meadows, borders, or sunny containers. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Tidy Tips grow fast! Sow seeds in fall or early spring for a wave of color from late spring into early summer. The blooms last longer with a bit of deadheading and certainly won't mind a little side dressing of compost. If you let a few flowers go to seed, theyll happily self-sow and return next year with even more charm. Once established, they need very little water, making them an eco-friendly choice for low-water gardens.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
