Though similar in appearance and name, the "Tahoka Daisy," also called "Prairie aster" is not really as aster at all. Ferny foliage supports flowers that bloom in electric blue/purple, overall forming a rather sprawling annual wildflower. Cheery yellow centers make this a pleasing and showy flower that blooms earlier than the large aster family. Thriving nearly anywhere, this is a beautiful and easy plant to grow!
