I should start by saying I've never liked daisies. When I saw these unique, frilly flowers, though, I knew I had to have them in my flowerbed. It was late in the season to be putting in new plants, but I took a chance. My plant arrived in perfect shape, just minutes before I had to leave to go out of state for several days. That meant I couldn't give it its recommended daily waterings. Despite its initial abandonment to the heat and drought, the plant not only survived, but also went on to bud and bloom, and I absolutely love it! The petals are yellow when they first open, then turn to white. Both are lovely. I highly recommend the Real Charmer, even to people who may shy away from daisies.
