🌈 Painted Daisy | The Garden’s Living Watercolor 🌈
(Chrysanthemum carinatum / Ismelia carinata)

Step into a midsummer dream where each bloom is brushed by the hand of an invisible artist. Painted Daisy, also known as Tricolor Daisy or Chop-Suey Greens, bursts forth in vibrant shades of red, pink, gold, plum, and snow white—each with a glowing golden eye at the center. Like tiny suns wreathed in swirling petals, these blooms look as though they’ve leapt straight from an enchanted painter’s palette.

This annual beauty grows with upright charm, standing 18–36 inches tall, crowned with daisy-like blooms and dressed in finely cut, ferny foliage that adds a soft texture to beds, borders, and bouquets alike.

🦋 A Magnet for Winged Folk
Painted Daisies are beloved by bees, butterflies, and wandering garden spirits. Their joyful blooms make long-lasting cut flowers—perfect for freshening up a vase, a kitchen windowsill, or an altar of gratitude to the earth.

🌞 Growing Tips from the Garden Witch’s Almanac
Start these floral wonders indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or sow them directly in your garden once the cold has passed. Tuck the seeds into moist, well-drained soil, give them full sun, and soon your garden will be sprinkled with cheerful blossoms that bloom from summer through fall. Painted Daisies may be annuals, but they reseed freely, popping back up year after year like old friends returning for tea.
