PAINTED DAISY 
(Pyrethrum) Painted Daisies are one of the 
most popular of all perennials because they 
produce showy flowers of different shades of 
red and pink on stems 214 to 3 feet tall. They 
grow in compact tufts and have a finely cut, 
attractive foliage. 
These things combine to 
make them not only a showy garden flower, 
but one ideal for cutting. Plant 3 or more from 
12 to 15 inches apart in order to get a real 
show of color. They do best in the sun and are 
very easy to grow.
