About this plant
This has daisies with a raggedy yet sophisticated charm. The flowers are fully double with masses of petals, moderately broad and having the appearance of 'split ends' as though a visit to the hairdresser is overdue. They are coloured creamy white and the colour develops yellow stains on the inner petals. The bloom has a broad, flat, burnt yellow heart and there is a small fringe of little petals (petalloids) curling about the heart. The whole has an insouciant charm. It stands around 70cm (2ft 6in) high with an equivalent spread and flowers in July and August.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Apply slow release fertiliser
Apply a slow release fertiliser which is spread around the root area of plants soon after they have come 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 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.
Summer
Summer - late · Planting
Divide the plant
Divide the plant and throw away any poor or weak growth. Immediately replant the divided portions.
Planting & general
Planting
Deadhead blooms during flowering season
Remove flowers as they turn brown and fade. Snip the stem just below the bloom. This will keep the plant tidy and encourage more flowers.
The removal of spent flowers encourages the plant to produce fresh ones, rather than spend its energy on the development of seeds.
