About this plant
The golden yellow flowers of this daisy seem more centre than petal and they appear in June and July. These are held on long stems above the rich green divided foliage. The plant prefers a site in well drained soil with as much sun as possible. Found in waste land, this isn't a native, but a garden plant that has escaped into the wild. It is better known for its more garden worthy cultivars. It stands around 80cm (2ft 6in) high.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Spring - early-mid · Planting
Divide when too large
The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.
