An industrious bloomer that first forms a sturdy base of "tough" stems and leaves. Throughout the summer until deep into autumn, the sky-blue and dark-blue flowers with a contrasting dark-blue heart, shaped like a daisy or common daisy, bloom! To stimulate long flowering, it is advisable to remove spent flowers. The height is 10-20 cm; the plant grows wide or trails over in flower boxes.
