  Bright orange early summer flowers with yellow centres and deeply divided mid green leaves.

To prevent the roots from drying out apply a thick mulch layer around the base of the plant in early spring.
  
  
• Garden care: Lift and divide large clumps in late autumn or early spring. In spring apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plants and water in very dry weather, to prevent the soil from drying out
