Family:Asteraceae

Botanical Name:ASTERISCUS maritimus 'Gold Coin'

Plant Common Name:Asteriscus, Gold Coin Mediterranean Beach Daisy, Mediterranean Beach Daisy

 

This is an ideal dry-climate perennial. The parent species, Mediterranean Beach Daisy, is native to coastal bluffs of North Africa and the arid eastern Mediterranean where there is little rainfall but the maritime influence keeps the air moist. This makes ‘Gold Coin’ particularly suitable for water conservation in dry coastal regions. This low, spreading perennial produces dense clumps of gray-green leaves that are slightly fuzzy.

Through the midsummer when little is in bloom, ‘Gold Coin’ flowers for weeks with bright-yellow daisy flowers, borne at branch tips with no visible flowers stem. The blooms are dense, giving the entire plant a near-solid golden color. This perennial needs mild, rainy winters and dry summers with minimal supplemental watering. It may grow semi-dormant in the late summer dry season, remaining so until rains return. If provided occasional deep supplemental watering the plants remain evergreen. Grow this perennial in full sun and well-drained average to poor soil. Combine ‘Gold Coin’ with other arid Mediterranean plants and natives or arid climates for a colorful xeriscape garden.
