Short in stature, 'Silberprizesschen' nonetheless produces masses of large white daisy flowers with striking yellow centres between July and September on sturdy stems with narrow, leathery green leaves.
Easy to grow, this compact form of a cottage garden stalwart is ideal for edging a sunny border or planted up in containers around a sunlit terrace, where it will flower for several months with regular deadheading. An excellent cut flower, it will attract bees and butterflies too. Quite undemanding, it will thrive in any good soil in a sunny or partially shaded situation.
