Tightly held clusters of soft pink flowers, with a vibrant pink inner flush surrounding a bright yellow centre, 'Bonneli Appleblossom' is a gleeful early season performer. A semi-evergreen perennial with leaves arranged in a basal rosette, that are roughly textured and bright green. Perfect for pots, containers and border edges.
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
