Blue Marguerite is eye catching wherever it is planted, with its striking sky-blue and sunny yellow flowerheads, which stand well above the leaves.
Apart from its beauty, this plant has many advantages. It is hardy, fast growing, long-flowering and long-lived, more or less frost and wind-resistant, needing only moderate water and little care.

Little Dugald is a great plant for a low to medium sized hedge, growing between 1-2m high x 1m wide. It is an extremely versatile shrub that can withstand a light frost, wind and salt tolerant (making it ideal for exposed coastal situations), can be grown in full sun or part shade and is drought tolerant once established. It produces masses of bright red flowers toward the end of Spring right through to the end of Summer which provide plenty of nectar for the local native birds.
