Gold and Silver Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum pacificum, Dendranthema pacificum
Prized for its handsome foliage, Ajania pacifica (Gold and Silver Chrysanthemum) is a sprawling rhizomatous perennial forming a dense mound of deeply lobed, dark green leaves, 2 in. long (5 cm), marked with a showy, silvery-white margin. Great-looking during of the growing season, the lush variegated foliage makes this species a great groundcover. As an added bonus, small, button-like, yellow flowers borne in terminal clusters, 4 in. across (10 cm), smother the plant in late fall, adding some of the brightest color in the late season garden. Easy to grow, insect and disease resistant, Ajania pacifica is also a lovely addition to the front of a mixed border and makes a wonderful container plant.
