  Machaeranthera tanacetifolia or Aster tanacetifolius, commonly named Prairie Aster, Tahoka Daisy, Tanseyleaf, & Tansy Aster is a hardy upright and sprawling annual wildflower native to the mid-western United States with dense, compact leaves that deeply divide into narrow segments.  Machaeranthera tanacetifolia flowers are simple and beautiful with deep purple petals and a brilliant yellow center.  Prairie Aster or Tahoka Daisy is an excellent choice for hard-to-maintain areas and prefers sandy or gravelly soil in full sun.  Periodic watering will encourage blooms.  Prairie Aster seeds germinate better after receiving 2 weeks cool, moist pretreatment.  If seeds are to be sown indoors, store them in a moistened medium in the refrigerator for 2 weeks prior to sowing or sow outdoors in early spring.
