Notes
'Mancetta Sunset' arctic daisy (Chrysanthemum 'Mancetta Sunset') is a perennial for borders, mass plantings, and cutting gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun. Large, semi-double flowers have red to bronze petals that fade to rustic orange around golden yellow centers, and bees visit them. Blooms open in summer and again in early autumn on strong stems. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Purple sage, Lemongrass, and Labyrinth dahlia.
