Chamomile Sunray

Chamomile Sunray

Rhodanthe anthemoides

Description

Meet this gorgeous dwarf perennial! It's got super attractive narrow grey-green leaves and in spring, it bursts with masses of gorgeous purple-budded white everlasting daisies. This one has a really cool upright habit that makes it perfect for borders, rockeries or pots. To keep it happy, give it a sunny spot with some morning or afternoon shade, feed it a good native fertiliser in spring and summer, and don't forget to water afterwards - the last thing you want is root or leaf burn!
