Striking annual grows to 1-1/2' x 1-1/2'. Two-toned marroon-red and yellow daisy-like flowers appear late spring to fall. To prolong the blooming, the flowers should be cut. Prefers full sun with good drainage. Thrives in hot dry places and will bloom all summer. Great as a cut flower. Sow seeds fall to spring.
