The Doll`s Daisy is an example that plants can be endangered not only in densely populated Europe but also in regions you wouldn`t expect. In the past this plant grew widely along the shores of River Illinois and the Mississippi, for hundreds of kilometers it could be found. Today it is very rare in its former range. The Doll`s Daisy needs wet soils or shallow water without mud to germinate. Both situations became extremly rare after the rivers were trained and so the plant is almost extinct in its former home.

Once the plant is grown up it isn`t fussy at all and you can grow it in a variety of conditions. First of all it will grow at the pond in wet soil and it will even stand temporal flooding. It will also grow in an ordinary flower bed or in the mixed border. It blooms very late in the season which makes it a very valuable plant for garden use.
