Description
Utterly hardy, these produce pretty yellow flowers with an orange-yellow centre - mostly single but occasionally double. This is the ultimate cottage garden plant!

Flowering can start soon after Christmas and continues right through to May. It's not unusual to see the pretty flowers appear from melting snows - these really are tough!
