About this plant
This plant, delightful when in flower, makes a good clump of mid-green foliage that is hairy to the touch. In mid spring it produces its flowers at the top of stout stalks. The blooms sit above a ruff of leaves that cap the stem top and provide a spiky base for the flowers. These come on a short stem; a cluster of plump, rosy, buds and white cup shaped flowers. The flowers themselves are golden hearted and fresh in their effect. Give this humus rich soil that is well drained and in a sunny or partially shaded position. This reaches around 40cm (16in) height with 45cm (18in) spread.

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.

Water to keep the soil moist
For best results, this plant needs soil that is always moist. Water deeply and regularly as soon as soil appears dry. Even for established plants in the ground, a dry week can cause problems with some soils. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather. Or install an automatic irrigation system which will do the hard work for you, even when you are away on holiday.
Without regular watering some plants never fully regain their beauty.
