Masses of nectar-rich daisies top the feathery foliage of this sun-loving, annual wildflower in summer. It looks wonderful when allowed to naturalise in a meadow or orchard, but it’s also useful for adding summer colour to mixed borders with a softer, more relaxed feel. Seeds sown in autumn will usually go on to flower earlier than those sown in spring.
