I really enjoy the flowering on this plant. Much like Kalimeris Blue Star, it covers itself with little flowers. Starts blooming a bit later than Blue Star and ends sooner, but still has a satisfying long bloom time, somewhere around 3 or 4 months, give or take a little. This is the only white daisylike flower that is reliable and long lived here. Interestingly, I have not found these two kalimerises to be drought tolerant in my garden. They don't like it too wet, but both have done better in the pampered yard than planted where they received no extra care. Both form extensive root systems, but they suffer if they run completely dry. They have done well planted with baptisia, daylilies, and roses, to name a few. They will, however, suck the soil dry, so smaller plants that need moisture will suffer if they are too close. They do well planted with strong plants. Very disease resistant and not bothered by insects. Excellent plant!
