Tidy Tips Layia

Tidy Tips (Layia platyglossa) is an iconic California wildflower that looks as if it has been meticulously hand-painted. This charming annual produces dozens of bright yellow daisy-like flowers, each uniquely tipped with a crisp, clean circle of pure white—giving them their famous ""tidy"" appearance. The foliage is narrow and slightly succulent, often emitting a pleasant, spicy scent when touched.

As a quintessential member of the Layia genus, Tidy Tips is a spring-to-summer specialist that brings a touch of wild meadow magic to the home garden. It is a vital nectar source for a wide range of native pollinators, including checkerspot butterflies. It is exceptionally easy to grow and thrives in sunny, open spots with well-drained soil. Why you’ll love it: Iconic bicolor flowers, supports local pollinators, and provides a cheerful, whimsical look in both garden beds and containers.

This healthy 4"" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and prefers moderate to low water once established.
