An attractive low growing shrub is well suited to growing in the perennial border and is drought tolerant once established. The foliage lasts well year round and the flowers appear in masses. Although sold as a mound forming plant, a little pruning will be needed to keep it neat and tidy.

Originally from Japan and Russia it will reach a height or around .5m. Very attractive grey green scalloped felt-like leaves with a silver underside, and when in flower, large clusters of yellow button-like flower heads usually in autumn.

This is a plant that has recently beed used in hybridisation see Chrysanthemum ‘Snow Dome’
