Product Description
Commonly known as the Michaelmas Daisy, this beautiful blue perennial will flower perpetually for months through the summer from June through to October. The brilliant lavender-blue petals surround a warm yellow centre and stand at a mature height of 60cm. These unique perennials are easy to grow and will create a friendly atmosphere when planted in patio containers or pots.

They are great pollinators and will invite butterflies into the garden. UK-grown 5cm module plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Deadhead regularly to encourage further growth spurts. Will tolerate full sun and partially shaded areas. Plant on arrival in well drained, prepared soil. Add a little bit of organic matter when planting and protect from strong winds. To plant them in the border, dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire root ball. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently. To plant them within a wall, find an opening and pack it halfway with soil. Then, take the module and pop it in the hole, making sure it's sturdy by packing soil around it. Water well.
