Smallhead doll's daisy is a fast-growing native perennial that produces masses of small white to pale lavender daisy-like flowers in summer and fall. It adapts well to moist, disturbed soils and partly shaded borders, making it excellent for naturalistic or restoration plantings. Once established it requires minimal care and will self-seed in favorable conditions.
