Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A hardy, clumping, evergreen perennial tolerant of dry conditions. Narrow, dark green, glossy, divided leaves are produced in dense tufts. Throughout the warmer months, large (12cm), deep rosy-pink, daisy-like flowers are produced freely on slender stems. Best planted in groups. A very tough plant for well drained soil. A non seeding variety grown by us for more than 20 years. Sadly it's origins are long since forgotten.
