About this plant
This stunning plant with big flower heads that can be up to 10cm (4in) across is usually grown as an annual though it is a tender perennial. The flowers are voluptuous and white with a huge centre and a chocolate eye, and there are beige, orange, and chocolate rings. Very sensitive to sunshine the daisy opens and closes with the light. It is difficult to grow well, but a well placed group of these would be very dramatic. This plant merits a star position and a group would be well set off by something frothy and inconsequential like Gypsophila paniculata.

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.

Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
