Care
- Regular watering in summer is particularly important. Morning or evening is the best time for this. Watering should also be done slowly and, if possible, not over flowers and leaves. - Dug up tubers and bulbs of non-hardy perennials can be kept dry, dark and, above all, frost-free over winter. - A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time.

The golden-yellow, capitate flowers appear from July to October. These grow to about 10 - 15 cm in size.
