Asteraceae
Hardy Perennial
Sun to part shade
Ht. up to 80cm
1L recycled plastic pot
Produces a dense mass of multiflowered stems covered in small lilac daisies in late summer/early autumn. Vigourous and productive, this beauty needs sun or part shade and good drainage as it can rot in heavy soils (that being said our soil has a clay base and it grows well here).
Notes on Cutting
For a multitude of lighter shorter stems cut back in spring, or for fewer heavier taller stems leave to it’s own devices. The flower stems benefit from some good support.
Best cut when 20% of flowers are open on the spray.
