A very hardy, low maintenance ground cover perennial with evergreen foliage and long-lasting flowers.
- From late May/June, right throughout summer and in to autumn, large daisy-like flowers are produced on long wiry stems, giving a wild and wispy look. Flowers are white with a yellow centre surrounded by a ring of purple. Regular deadheading will prolong its flowering time and keep the plant looking its best.
- Its tough, evergreen foliage forms a dense carpet of mid-green, giving coverage throughout the year and providing a nice backdrop to contrast against the flowers.
- Thrives best in a full sun location with well-draining soil, as it dislikes areas that get too wet, particularly in the winter months. A fantastic plant for pots, raised beds, edging borders, and in coastal and Mediterranean-style gardens. Great for exposed dry areas where dense ground cover is needed.
- The flowers are a good magnet for a wide range of pollinators.
- Height and Spread approx. 20-30cm x 40-60cm.
- Supplied in a 9cm pot
