Conflicting information on this daisy's hardiness online. I hope the range I quote here is accurate, because it looks like a charming plant - lots of white daisies with pink reverses on the petals. A few months after being raised from seed, they were blooming in our nursery area; a bit messily, so I was already on notice to be careful placing the plants in our rock garden. Sure enough, the plant grows to a sizeable mat of foliage and flowers, and could easily smother miniature rock garden plants in its vicinity. While not a stunner, it is a very steady performer - it was among the last plants blooming (in very late November) in our 2009 garden, winding down a season of continuous bloom.
