Leontodon (Lamiaceae) BSWJ12527

rigens

Strange how so many English gardeners are bias against yellow in the summer garden, we Welsh have so such inhibitions. A perennial species which flowers for months on end until the first hard frosts curtail the display of fine yellow ray flowers held in wide dense corymbs, above the large paddle-shaped leaves, serrated so deeply they appear ragged at their edges. Originating from one of our seed collections gathered on the high mountains of Sao Miguel Island, part of the Azores in 2008. Easily grown in any type of drained fertile soil in good light avoiding excessive heat.
