Insights
Native to North Africa, Morocco and Algeria, where this delightful daisy grows on dry rocky outcrops, it is, as a result, tolerant of wind and deer and rabbit resistant. The cone-like centres of the flowers are highly attractive to native pollinators. It is particularly effective planted amongst grey foliaged Mediterranean plants such as Rosemary and Lavender.
