Plant Overview

Painted daisies are old-fashioned perennials that have always been popular in cottage gardens and used as cut flowers. The foliage is bright green and ferny, with upright stems bearing loads of large, single yellow-eyed daisies.

‘Robinson’s Red’ is a delightful red-flowered variety. The many flowers grow on strong stems and are long-lived, so are perfect for cutting. It’s ideal for growing in a sunny border in moist but well-drained soil, as well as containers on the patio.

Flowers from June to September. Likes a sunny, open situation in well-drained soil.

Loved by bees and butterflies.

From the meadows of the Caucasus.

Height and Spread: 75cm x 45cm

Common name(s): Painted Daisy; Feverfew; Pyrethrum; Persian Pellitory.

Synonyms: Pyrethrum 'Robinson's Red'; Dendranthema 'Robinson's Red'; Chrysanthemum 'Robinson's Red'.

All our plants are supplied in 9cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant.

The majority of our plants are grown outdoors. This means that they follow their natural growth patterns and are ready to plant at any time of the year. If you order the plants in winter, they are likely to be dormant and died back to ground level, ready to shoot again in spring - just like the herbaceous perennials in your own garden. Very occasionally, in winter, we may indicate on the packing slip that a plant needs to be hardened off before planting out. This will be because it has just come out of a polytunnel. If you have any questions about our plants or growing methods, please feel free to drop us an email.

We grow most of what we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
