It's not a California native but apparently found in your state. https://www.calflora.org/app/t...

I got them at Armstrong's in Newport Beach. SWBO loves the airy dainty little daisies. They really 'pop' in the shade.

I'm surprised Armstrong would sell them! They are highly invasive weeds in waste areas and along the freeways. I spent 20 years in freeway landscape and "Spanish Needle" was the only polite name we had for them.

I think mine's a hybrid with pilosa in the parentage somewhere. It's sold as Giant White. We'll see about the reseeding.
