The bright neon like colours of these daisies make every garden brighter. The ground hugging plants will spread about 4 inches then be covered in masses of flowers that close up slightly in the late afternoon.

Grow from the fine gritty seed. Space the seed well. Plant in bold blocks for the best colour impact.
