Anthemis tinctoria ‘E.C. Buxton'
A long-flowering selection of Anthemis tinctoria, producing a steady display of pale yellow, daisy-like flowers from early summer until frost. In lean, well-drained soils it forms a strong, upright clump and maintains its flowering momentum over a remarkably long season. In wetter climates, an early autumn cut-back helps ensure reliable performance the following year.
