Part of the 'Federation Daisy' range. These shrubs are excellent performers in patio pots and in the garden, providing colour from late autumn through to late spring. These daisies are woody at the base and covered with herbaceous growth that flushes with medium sized flowers. Whilst they are true perennials, their useful lifespan in the garden is usually 2-3 years. Regular maintenance will prolong plant life. Summer Stars is a versatile variety that produces double, shell pink flowers in abundance. One of the better performers in warmer climates.
