Description

A semi-woody perennial herbaceous plant, vigorous and bushy; appreciated by growers, hobbyists and landscapers for its prolonged flowering from early spring until late summer with abundant flowers rising from the jagged foliage, whose characteristic daisy-like shape and light scent attracts useful insects such as bees and butterflies. Very hardy and easy to manage, it is widely used in homogeneous groups or in compositions with other ornamentals in a harmonious symbiosis for flowerbeds, including those in urban areas, and for borders; it is also suitable for decorating terraces and balconies inside flowerpots and tubs where it will add a vivid splash of colour.
