Giallo Fiorito Granite

Would love to have a slab or two in the garden as accent pieces.

Either the Brazil or China version would be fine.

Alternatives to Oxeye Daisy

Consulting with several sources, I made a list of desirable alternatives to the invasive Oxeye Daisy.

Black-Eyed Susan
Fleabane
Shasta Daisy
Blanket Flower
Virginia Mountain Mint
American Feverfew
Chrysanthemum
Cosmos

It is an ongoing war, but we are replacing Oxeye Daisy incrementally.

Probably a fading novelty.

And most of them are dark purple, not black.
