This plant makes an attractive ground cover that has fern-like foliage accented by daisy-like flowers that bloom in April and May. Plant stands 4 to 6 inches tall and wide, though in time it may cover more area. Colors range from white, pink, lavenders, and blues.
Grow in clay-loam or sandy-loam, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Soak tubers in water overnight before planting. Plant 2.5-3†deep and 4-5†apart in fall. Although called windflowers, these plants will do best if sheltered from the wind. Keep watered throughout the growing season, but decrease watering once the plant goes dormant. Plants will naturalize by both tuberous rhizomes and by self-seeding (new seedlings bloom the second year). Plants go dormant after flowering.
