Fiery Meadow Mama
Fiery Meadow Mama blooms with a blazing, sun-warmed presence—deep magenta rays flare around a boldly domed, honey-brown center that seems to glow above sturdy stems. The petals hold their color through the season, offering a crisp, daisy-like texture that stands beautifully in the garden and makes a striking, long-lasting statement in arrangements. Grow it for its pollinator magnetism and medicinal-herb appeal, with flowers that mature in about 90 days and keep returning year after year.
