Toward the end of summer, just as the garden is beginning to look tired, Chrysanthemum 'Hillside Sheffield Pink' comes to the rescue with its long-blooming display of large, apricot pink, daisy-like flowers with golden yellow eyes. The flowering continues until first frost. The medium green, 6-to-7 lobed leaves are attractive. Juvenile foliage is lime green but grows darker as the plant matures. By that time, the foliage is all but obscured by the bounty of flowers. This sturdy, upright, herbaceous perennial is a treasure for the fall garden.
Late Summer to frost. 2-3 ft. x 2-3 ft.
Apricot Pink flowers
