| Description | A short lived wildflower which can reseed prolifically, even into difficult areas in a garden. Blooms are purple and daisy-like, and the plants rise on thin stems anywhere from 1-2.5' depending on conditions. Plants can bloom almost any time but are most consistent following monsoons into the fall. |
