Notes
'Shungiku' Asian green (Glebionis coronaria 'Shungiku') is an annual for borders and containers. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The leaves are aromatic, deeply lobed chrysanthemum greens. Orange and yellow flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Teddy Bear sunflower, and Greig's tulip.
