Plant of the Week
Copper Canyon Daisy (Tagetes lemmonii)
Copper Canyon Daisy produces a 3 to 4 foot tall mound of finely cut foliage with a strong citrusy-pine odor. In fall the plant absolutely explodes with a profusion of single bright yellow blooms about an inch in diameter. I learned long ago not to say any plant is “deer proof”, but this one is as close as you can get. Give it full sun and good drainage. It is a superb choice for informal perennial beds or water thrifty landscapes.
