A small growing species from Bulgaria.

Has ovate, toothed, greyish green leaves. Bears small, bright yellow, 5 petalled flowers with a slightly darker yellow centre.

Flowers between mid April-August

Loves a well drained soil in sun to light shade, give it some protection from winter wet. Will self seed where happy.

I've found this one to not be quite hardy here so give it a cool greenhouse over winter in regions where you expect frost.

This one is listed as rare in it's native Bulgaria and it's not all that easily available from nurseries but becoming more available.

Very easy from seed, prefers dark to germinate so cover well. 100% germination this year!
