    Big, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers up to 10cm across, appear from June to September over greyish-green leaves. This gorgeous blanket flower is excellent for the middle of a sunny, well-drained, herbaceous or mixed border. Perfect for a planting scheme based on hot colours, the brassy blooms make excellent and long-lasting cut flowers.

  • Garden care: Stake with brushwood or bamboo canes before the flowers appear. Remove the spent flower-heads regularly to prolong flowering. Cut the stems down to ground-level in autumn, lifting and dividing large clumps every third year.
