Description
Dense whorls of slightly silver-frosted, compact leaves on short, stout stems which are topped by glorious, bright, vivid yellow flowers in June. The interior of each Turks-cap is rust-speckled especially in the throat. A stout and stocky plant with the whole seldom over 60 cm here.
Tolerant of both lime and acid soils and this is an excellent, long-lived and very reliable garden plant with stout stems and a good floral display. It needs a year or two to settle and establish itself but thereafter it is strongly perennial. Seldom produced commercially, this has become inexplicably hard to obtain recently.
