Nippon Daisy: A Cheerful Late-Season Bloom
The Nippon daisy (Nipponanthemum nipponicum), also known as the Montauk daisy, is a stunning perennial flower that brightens gardens in late summer and fall. Unlike many other daisies that bloom in spring or early summer, the Nippon daisy is a fall-blooming beauty, making it a valuable addition to gardens that need fresh color when other flowers begin to fade. Native to coastal Japan, it has gained popularity in North America, particularly in coastal regions like Montauk, New York—hence its common name.
