Pollen Color Notes
The visual color shown for Daisy is grouped broadly with orange and amber pollen tones. It is intended for comparison and identification support, not as a laboratory measurement.
Pollen color is highly variable. Lighting, pollen age, moisture, collection method, cultivar, and local growing conditions can all change how pollen appears. Use this as general visual guidance, not a scientific color standard or guaranteed field match.
Bloom, Zone, and Forage Context
Daisy is listed for summer to fall. The record lists USDA zone 3 - 10; hardiness zones are planning context, not a precise flowering calendar. Approximate bloom months in the supplemental notes: March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October.
Its forage type is pollen and nectar, with pollen value marked as medium and nectar value marked as low. Open flower heads can provide modest pollen and nectar over a long season in lawns and short grass.
