Copper Canyon Daisy (Tagetes lemonii) is a drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it ideal for low-maintenance landscapes. Known for its strong aroma, this plant naturally deters deer and adds a burst of color to gardens in late fall with dense clusters of golden-yellow flowers. Beyond its ornamental value, Copper Canyon Daisy is also recognized for its medicinal and herbal uses.
