Showy Podolepis / Copper-wire Daisy

The Showy Podolepis is a striking native perennial herb forming a basal rosette of lance-shaped green leaves, from which rise rigid, copper-wire-like stems up to 40cm to 60cm high. Throughout spring and summer, each stem is crowned with a large, spectacularly detailed bright golden-yellow daisy flower head with deeply fringed petal tips that attract native butterflies. It loves a sunny, well-drained spot in borders or pots.
