Well, it's a hardy perennial with rosettes of leathery, silver-green leaves that contrast beautifully with masses of stunning, large, bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that add colour throughout most of the year. It's very easy to grow and can cope with dry, neglected conditions and still continue to flower without much need for continuous care.
