Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Terrific perennial for ground cover, garden accent, or pot specimen in full sun to light shade with regular summer water. Foliage is a very respectable blue-green that is completely covered in late summer/early autumn by profuse daisy-like flowers, wonderfully warm pink with yellow centers -- a pink everyone can love. Forms clumps 2-3 ft tall by 2 ft wide, spreading underground. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4.
The low spreading foliage of this winter hardy mum makes a great ground cover for sun to part shade. Hardy in zones 5-9. Lots of single daisy like salmon pink flowers up to 3" from July to fall. Grows 18- 24". Great cut flower. May also be listed as " Dendranthemum".
