  Large, egg yolk yellow, daisy-like flowers with prominent, almost black, cone-like centres from July to October.

For the best results chose a site that doesn't dry out over summer and support with ring stakes or brushwood well before the flowers appear.
  
  
• Garden care: Lift and divide congested colonies in autumn or spring. Support with ring stakes or brushwood well before the flowers appear.
