Lakeside daisy is one of Ohio's most spectacular wildflowers.
This long-lived perennial grows where few others can, on nearly barren limestone bedrock in full sunlight. All individuals within a given population tend to bloom at approximately the same time, producing the spectacular effect of a golden blanket. All the flower heads track the sun across the sky in unison. After about a week, the double notched petals fade before falling. Seed dispersal takes place about a month later.
