Description

Eldorado Engelmann Daisy is a native, cool-season perennial forb which can grow up to 3’ tall with showy yellow flowers. Engelmann Daisy is adapted to a wide range of soil types and climate conditions, but is found most frequently throughout south, central, and west Texas, often on roadsides or in areas protected from continuous heavy grazing. Engelmann daisy is good livestock forage, and is frequently browsed by white-tailed deer. It is also an important pollinator plant due to its long flowering period and spring through early summer bloom time. The plant is commonly used in wildlife habitat and range restoration seed mixes, in wildlife plantings, for pollinators, and in wildflower seed mixes. Engelmann Daisy has a deep tap root which makes it a hardy, drought tolerate species. 

Eldorado Engelmann Daisy was developed and released by the USDA NRCS Knox City Plant Materials Center. This variety originates from a composite collection of seed from native plants growing northwest of Eldorado, Texas in Schleicher County.
