The dark lavender-blue flower buds open to reveal 1 inch globular flower heads with white petals with lavender blue margins. Flowering commences in early spring and continues through summer. Plant in full sun with a well-drained soil. Globe daisy is drought tolerant but looks better with an occasional watering. Plants in our demonstration garden were tip damaged at 25 degrees F. and resprouted after being frozen to the ground at 18 degrees F. This plant is the naturally occurring hybrid between two species (G. sarcophylla and G. salicina) whose ranges overlap in the Tirajana region of Gran Canaria Island. The Globe Daisies are so named because they appear to be small round daisies but they are actually in their own family, the Globulariaceae. Our plants are grown from seed received from the Huntington Botanic Garden. We have sold this plant since 1991.  The information on this page is based on our research that has been conducted in our nursery library and from online sources as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in the nursery, in the nursery's garden, and in other gardens where it has been observed. We also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have additional information, particularly if this information is contrary to what we have written or includes additional cultural tips that might aid others in growing  Globularia x indubia.
