Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.
‘Hot Summer’ is a vibrant daisy flower with petals that open yellow before maturing first to orange, then red and finally pink, all encircling a central cinnamon cone. As the blooms open at different times from late summer into autumn, each plant becomes a blend of tropical colours that works beautifully in a hot-themed sunny border.
A firm favourite with bees and butterflies, this versatile perennial suits different styles of planting from cottage to prairie. If space is limited it is an ideal choice for a sunny summer container thanks to its long flowering period. A great cut flower too — picking the blooms for vases will encourage more. Just leave some seed heads on as food for the birds over winter.
Hardy throughout most of the UK, it performs best in fairly fertile, well-drained soil in full sun.
