Yellow-eyed daisy-like flowers, which have a soft spiky appearance, top upright stems throughout the summer, putting on an impressive display in the border (or large pots). They come in a range of colours, from white to deep pink - with picotees as well - so will mix easily with a whole host of colours. A generous bloomer, the flowers of 'Razzmatazz' can be cut for the vase and this will encourage more to form.
Garden care:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
