About this plant
Dainty daisy-like flower, valued for its early spring colour. It makes excellent ground cover, particularly in woodland or shady areas. The open flat blooms come in white, blue, pink or purple sitting above delicate, fern-like foliage. They flower in March and April, a much needed early feast for the bees. Grows to a height/spread of 15cm. Plant in drifts under shrubs for an informal natural look.

Water during drought
Water plants in the ground regularly after a period of drought if still in growth (prefer to be dry when dormant). 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.
