Shining stars of the perennial garden, these abundantly blooming compact plants produce small daisylike flowers that may attract butterflies and songbirds to the garden. Combine with purple cranesbill, red bee balm and blue bachelor button for a fabulous blend of color and texture. Remove faded flowers for continuous bloom.
