Mountain daisy is a resilient alpine perennial with a low-growing, clumping habit. It sports narrow, silver-green leaves that form a dense basal rosette. In late spring to summer, it produces striking, daisy-like white flowers with yellow centers, which stand out against rocky slopes and grassy knolls of its high-altitude habitats. Its foliage is often adapted to handle cold, windy conditions, conserving warmth and moisture.
