Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Named after the English plantswoman who discovered it, this robust, yet graceful chance seedling provides a soothing place for the eye to rest. The low silver-green mound of finely feathered foliage looks decorative even before the many, many gold-centered, creamy yellow daisies appear. In harmony with the foliage, the versatile long blooming flowers pale to alabaster tones, mixing easily with hot or cool color schemes.
