100% Peat Free Pollinator Friendly RHS Award of Garden Merit

Pick-up in store only — this plant is too tall to post.

Gently arching sprays of lavender-blue daisies with yellow centres dance on almost-black, upright stems with narrow, dark green foliage. This elegant perennial is perfect for adding a light, airy layer of colour at the back of a border, combining beautifully with ornamental grasses and prairie-inspired planting.

A magnet for bees and butterflies, it cuts well for arrangements and is mildew resistant. Thrives in free-draining, reasonably fertile soil in full sun. Cut back in autumn. Grown peat-free.
