This plant forms a delightful, compact rounded mound, generously covered in eye-catching deep purple, semi-double daisy flowers, each around 4cm across. It’s a magnet for pollinators, drawing in butterflies and bees with its abundant nectar, making it a fantastic choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Enjoy its vibrant display for approximately four weeks, bringing a splash of rich colour to your borders when many other plants are fading.
