WHITE CHRYSANTHEMUM 'SNOWLAND'
When I bought and planted my border edging of the compact lobelia 'Crystal Palace' the other week, I also bought a couple of trays of the white chrysanthemum called 'Snowland'. It's a low-growing hardy annual and, like the lobelia, I just want it temporarily until I can put in more permanent plants, like perennials. At first I was rather disappointed with Snowland as something is getting at the white petals. I cannot see slugs, or signs of slugs, but I imagine they are what are nibbling at the petals. Anyway, that problem seems to be easing off and now lovely white daisies, only about 2" (5cm) in diameter are attracting attention here and there along the borders of the lawn.
The label says:
Chrysanthemum 'Snowland' has masses of bright white daisy-like flowers covering a mounded plant throughout summer. It is perfect for beds, borders, and containers. It achieves a height of 30cm (12") and should be planted 30cm apart in a sunny position. Note: There is a caution on the label that this plant may cause skin allergy.
I haven't noticed any problem in handling this plant but then I don't seem to have an allergic reaction to any plant. Touch wood.
