About this plant
These are jolly plants that make neat spreading mounds of attractively lobed leaves on which sit many rounded flowers, coloured golden-yellow and massed with tiny petals. It is a tender perennial that is generally grown as an annual. This makes a good edging plant and is also useful in a container. It should flower for much of summer, often going into the autumn.

Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
