Native Plant
Blackfoot Daisy
Melampodium leucanthum
Blackfoot daisy throws white flowers nearly year-round, smells faintly of honey, and asks in return only that you leave it alone in the worst soil you own. Kindness, here, is the one thing that kills it. One of the hardest-working natives for a hot, dry bed. 🤍🐝

Bees · butterflies
A low white-flowering mound, honey-scented, blooming most of the year on almost no water — the horticultural equivalent of a guest who arrives, charms everyone, and never once raids the fridge.
