Notes
'Kelvin Mandarin' arctic daisy (Chrysanthemum 'Kelvin Mandarin') is a perennial with double, pompom blooms. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun. The deep mandarin orange petals have yellow reverses, and the flowers open in summer and again in autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer. You can cut it back to 3-4 inches after it blooms in late fall.
Pairs well with Labyrinth dahlia, Lemongrass, and Mondo grass.
