About this plant
Attractive low-growing and spreading plants that have small daisy flowers with bouffant centres coloured creamy yellow that are surrounded by stubby white petals. There may be some small furled petals tucked in round the cream centre as well. The green leaves are lobed and resemble those of chrysanthemums. This is a cheery plant that flowers in summer and is a tender perennial in character though often grown as an annual.

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.
