  This adaptable perennial is a sterile cultivar, so it will produce an abundance of apricot-orange flowers over a prolonged period throughout summer and into autumn. These are held on leafy stems that form an attractive clump of divided, toothed and scalloped foliage. It's perfect for adding bright splashes of colour towards the front of a sunny border.
  
  
• Garden care: Lift and divide large clumps in early spring or late autumn.
