Cladanthus arabicus, 'Criss-Cross'

Palm Spring's Daisy, Golden Crown

Cladanthus arabicus, 'Criss-Cross'
Price: £2.40
Originating in Spain and Morocco is this most attractive and unusual plant forming a beautiful and ever-enlarging, beautifully shaped mound of pleasantly scented, feathery foliage, bearing all summer long a profusion of large, fragrant, golden-yellow flowers. Here's how the ever-enlarging bit goes: from around each of the first flowers (appearing in as little as six weeks from seed when the plant is only 4ins tall) appear four or five new stems each bearing a new flower. From each of these new flowers another set of four or five stems appear . . . and so on! Exciting, isn't it? 1½ft (40cm)
