Engelmannia peristenia is in the sunflower family Asteraceae. Commonly known as Engelmann’s daisy, it is native to the western United States from Arizona to Missouri. The genus Engelmannia is monotypic, meaning that it only contains this species. Engelmann’s daisy is a small perennial herb found growing primarily in prairies meadows and along roadsides. This species is also becoming popular as an addition to native perennial gardens, due to its attractive yellow inflorescences, and it’s high drought tolerance.
