- 1). Locate a Chrysanthemum Pacifica plant for your yard.
This plant will propagate from the root ball, but like most chrysanthemums, it will also grow from a stalk or even a piece of root. It is not always available in home improvement stores or garden centers, but may be available at the nursery. It is worth looking for, since it will grow easily in almost any conditions. - 2). Start Chrysanthemum Pacifica in a container if small.
Plant in a container garden if you have less than a hardy whole plant. Use a little care and water, even rooting hormone if you feel rich, until it gets a good start. - 3). Transplant the plant.
Move the plant to a landscaped flower bed or suitable location for a low-growing hardy perennial with gold flowers in the fall. Water occasionally. It becomes drought tolerant and likes well-drained soil. In Zone 8, this hardy perennial can tolerate full sun, but in more southern areas, it needs shade part of the day. Plant according to your Zone. - 4). Wait for Chrysanthemum Pacifica to multiply.
Expect this plant to multiply over time and create a silver leaf ground cover much of the year. - 5
low-growing, drought resistant gray variegated leaves
Watch for yellow flowers.
Watch for blooms in late fall when most of the plants are preparing for winter. It has yellow to gold button clusters at the top of the serrated variegated leaves. - 6). Trim the gangly stems back.
Cut the leaves back if they get gangly, and it will come back bushy and full again. Grow Chrysanthemum Pacifica and have a beautiful long-term ground cover and a blooming flower in late fall.
