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. When the flowers die back, it leaves behind a pretty mat of evergreen foliage. 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: A long-lived, low maintenance plant. In cold areas the foliage may become frost damaged. If this happens, cut the foliage to the ground to encourage new growth.
