A tough little evergreen shrub with oval, hairy, grey leaves and cheerful, bright yellow, daisy-like flowers in June and July. It's drought tolerant and forms a natural mound. Try it with other silver-leaved plants or as part of a Mediterranean scheme or as a groundcover for a sunny, well-drained site. It's particularly suitable for coastal gardens as it stands up well to strong winds and salt-laden air. - Garden care: Cut back lightly after flowering to maintain a compact, bushy habit.
