Montauk Daisy Nipponanthemum

Montauk daisy (Nipponanthemum nipponicum) is a perennial species native to coastal Japan and grown for its large white, yellow-centered daisies. North Carolina Extension describes plants about 18–36 inches tall and wide, with flowers in summer and fall; the flowers also make long-lasting cut stems.

Its late-season flowers brighten the garden after many summer perennials have faded, and stems can be cut for arrangements. ## Maintenance In hot climates it tolerates light shade. In spring, trim new growth slightly to maintain a compact, bushy form; remove spent flower heads to encourage additional bloom. Divide clumps every two to three years to maintain vigor.
