MONTANOA grandiflora
Mexican Tree Daisy
A spectacular shrub for the larger garden producing masses of large clusters of white daisy flowers in winter.
Montanoa is a genus of about 25 species of large evergreen daisies from tropical America. They are best grown in enriched soil in a sunny position, protected from strong wind as their cane-like growth can be brittle. They will not tolerate frost. Montanoa grandiflora is from Central America and can reach a height of 4 meters. It's leaves are deeply indented, making it a striking addition to a mixed planting. In winter it produces open clusters up to 60 cm across of white daisy heads each about 6 cm across. Stunning when in full flower. Quite drought tolerant in my garden.
