golden marquerite (syn. Cota tinctoria E.C. Buxton)
Pretty, lemon-yellow daisy-like flowers appear in a profuse display throughout the summer, above the finely cut, aromatic, mid-green leaves.
This cheerful, long-flowering lemon-yellow marguerite will lift a sunny border and will flourish in poor, well-drained soils.
Anthemis tinctoria 'E.C. Buxton' copes well with drought, once established, and the flowers are good for cutting.

How to care for Anthemis tinctoria E.C. Buxton:
Anthemis thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring sandy or loamy conditions. Protect young plants from slugs and snails, especially in spring.
Regular deadheading will prolong flowering, encouraging a continuous display of soft yellow daisy-like blooms throughout summer. Cut back spent stems after flowering to maintain a compact habit and promote fresh growth.
Divide congested clumps every few years in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain vigour.
