Features

notes

From midsummer through to early autumn, Short 'n' Sassy will flood the front of your border with a continual glow of warmth. The flowers are rich in colour and have a velvety central cone that is irresistibly tactile. The main petals radiate daisy-like around the central cone, creating a pleasing, sunburst effect.

Insights

This low-growing perennial supports the flower heads on sturdy stems (making them ideal for arrangements), and has simple but attractively lance-shaped leaves. Traditionally the leaves were dried and used in snuff, hence its common name: Sneezewort.
