The variety 'Goldsturm' is the brightest thing in my garden in September. Prefers a heavier soil to give of its best

Put one in the Autumn border, and three in my new border, I liked it so much!

already have one of these in my garden from seeds planted a few years ago and they are lovely!

Bought 07, local.

Another plant I cannot do without. It flowers relatively late in the summer providing me with cut flowers when there are less about. Seems to grow anywhere in my garden even in the shade. easy to grow and transplant.

Planted 04.08 Vistabile fence border back garden

Bought Woolwrths £2.50 - multi buy 2 for £5 (£2.99 each)

Hardiness: Hardy

Skill Level: Beginner

Soil type: Well-drained/light, Clay/heavy, Moist
Exposure: Full sun, Partial shade

Flowers: July - Oct
Height: 75cm in 5 years
Spread: 45cm " " "

Time to divide plants: September to March

The plant is short enough not to need staking, and does not spread so fast that frequent division is necessary, making it a very easy-care plant. Use it between other plants in a flower border, as it tolerates light shade, to extend the flowering season late into the year.

Looks good with:
Aster x frikartii 'Monch'
Verbena bonariensis
