A compact floriferous perennial producing a mix of warm earthy daisy-like blooms in rich shades of red orange yellow and bronze from summer through autumn. Each flower has a dark central cone that adds depth and contrast to the colour. The blooms attract bees and butterflies and make a long-lasting cut flower.

Its tidy habit suits borders containers and cottage gardens and it looks particularly good mass planted for a bold splash of colour. Prefers full sun and a well drained position and is drought tolerant once established. Deadhead regularly to keep the flowers coming and cut back in late autumn or winter. Hardy.
