Pilosella aurantiaca
With a running rootstock which makes it more suitable as a meadow ingredient than in a border, this charmingly named plant, naturalised in Britain for many centuries, produces wonderful burnt-orange daisy flowers in June. Although they prefer damp meadow conditions, they cheerfully grow on the banks next to the chapel in our village, making bright patches of colour.
Supplied as Bare-root Plants (sent without pots, with roots carefully prepared for planting)
