A low-growing, spreading perennial with blue-grey leaves and striking, lavender pink, semi-double, daisy like flowers with yellow discs at their centre. It will flower right through the summer and self-seeds into unlikely places such as walls and crevices.
This plant loves sun and sea air, and is a familiar sight around the coasts of southern Britain. Let it flow over a raised wall, creep through a rock garden or tuck it in the front of a border and let it run.
Garden care: Cut back to ground level in autumn and avoid winter wet.
