Spring Carpet Mount Atlas Daisy (Anacyclus)

‘Spring Carpet’ is an early blooming perennial that makes a
colorful carpet of flowers. The low-growing perennial thrives in hot, dry, sites
and prefers gritty, sharply drained soil in the garden. It makes a nice
groundcover along the edges of walks and paths. Native to Mediterranean Europe
and North Africa, it’s also called Spanish Chamomile, since it has a similar
appearance and habit. It will re-seed itself readily in favorable conditions
and naturalize in gardens with poor soils. The plants are not bothered by
browsing deer and rabbits. It makes a great companion plant for other early
blooming perennials like blue-flowered groundcover Speedwells (Veronica), Wooly
Creeping Thyme (Thymus), and Sea Thrift (Armeria). Winner of the Royal
Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
