Description
Cota tinctoria E. C. Buxton
Height x Spread: 90cm x 60cm
Large soft lemon yellow daisies jostle each other on strong stems well above the delicate ferny green foliage in mid-summer. Yellow is a colour that really draws the eye towards it, so using it in a border will help highlight other colours.
'E. C. Buxton' combines well with many colours, but looks especially good with blues, purples, violets and dark reds. These plants are happy in a sunny position in a reasonable soil. A very good cut flower, bees absolutely adore it.
Synonyms: Anthemis tinctoria 'E. C. Buxton'
