This clump-forming perennial daisy is a reliable performer if treated well. Given time (2-3 years) this will produce a clump of nearly a yard/ metre plus. This plant is very hardy and will tolerate dry conditions too.
The key to keeping this plant in tip top condition is cutting the plant right back in the middle of autumn to two or three inches above the ground so a new crown of leaves can be produced before winter.
This plant prefers a very sunny site and well-drained moderately fertile soil. It can be propagated by dividing it in Spring - although it is worth waiting at least a couple of seasons before doing this.
