Notes
'Hillside Sheffield Pink' arctic daisy (Chrysanthemum rubellum 'Hillside Sheffield Pink') is a perennial for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Apricot pink blooms with gold centers appear in summer and again in autumn, and butterflies and bees visit them. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Feverfew, Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, and Casa Blanca lily.
