Leaves are lance-shaped to oval, 3 to 6 inches long, dark green with a coarse, slightly rough texture, forming a dense base with smaller leaves up the sturdy stems. Single daisy-like flowers 4 to 5 inches across have broad rose-pink ray petals held horizontally, fading to pale rose as they age, around a raised, spiny, coppery brown to orange-brown cone. At peak bloom the plant carries many flowers at once, held on strong stems well above the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt thrives in lavender's sun and well-drained soil, and its rose-pink flowers bloom right after lavender, a classic pairing for a sunny cottage bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun to light part shade in average to lean, well-drained soil; it handles heat and dry spells once established and dislikes wet winter soil.
