Leptinella traillii Details

Leptinella traillii, commonly known as Button Daisy, is an herbaceous perennial native to New Zealand that is often used as a groundcover. It is a creeping plant and bears small, mid-green, fern like leaves. Small, yellow flowers are borne through spring and summer amidst the foliage. It typically grows to 10 cm tall and 70 cm wide, performing best when grown on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. It is a hardy plant that has storage roots which enable it to survive moderate frosts, dry periods, and coastal environments. The Button Daisy is a great plant to use as a groundcover or for planting between rocks and pavers.
