  • Posted by Danita (GA - Zone 7b) on Sep 30, 2011 1:45 AM concerning plant:
    This is a hardy, perennial mum that blooms in the fall with single, daisy-form flowers. The buds and newly opened flowers are a lovely shade of apricot pink. As the flowers age, they lighten and become a warm cream color. It spreads easily, so give it some room. It is easy to grow from cuttings or divisions. It is drought tolerant.

    My Climate: USDA Zone 7b, AHS Heat Zone 7/8, Humid
