Notes
'Ruby Mound' arctic daisy (Chrysanthemum 'Ruby Mound') 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. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, so it forms a tidy mound. Flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Alpine aster, Elijah Blue blue fescue, and Happy Returns daylily.
