Alpine moon daisy is a charming, low-growing alpine perennial bearing classic white daisy flowers ideal for rock gardens, troughs, and alpine borders. It prefers full sun to light shade in sharply drained, gritty, humus-rich soil and should never be allowed to sit in wet or waterlogged conditions, especially in winter. Once established it requires little care beyond ensuring good drainage and removing spent flowers to encourage further blooming.
