Insights
Native to North Africa, Morocco and Algeria, where this delightful daisy grows on dry rocky outcrops, it is as a result tolerant of wind and deer and rabbit resistant. The cone-like centres of the flowers are highly attractive to native pollinators. It is particularly effective planted amongst grey foliaged Mediterranean plants such as Rosemary and Lavender.

Flowers in early summer will be followed by a welcome second flush at the end of summer.
