Description
Another Mediterranean marvel that loves the heat of summer, but this variety has been bred to flower earlier, even in cooler climes. It displays its flowers more prominently than most varieties, that can often ÒhideÓ their flowers under the foliage. The tight mounds of olive-green foliage become covered in large, bright orbs – golden daisy flowers, bringing a splash of sunshine to any part of the garden.
