Nipponanthemum nipponicum which
was formerly known as Chrysanthemum nipponicum and is
commonly known as Nippon Daisy or Montauk Daisy is a somewhat
shrubby perennial with dark green leaves and white,
yellow-centered daisylike flowers in fall. Select a site in full
sun with average, well drained soil. The Montauk Daisy will grown
2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. If the plants are not killed to the
ground over the winter, cut them nearly to the ground in early
spring to control their height. Pinch off tips of new stem growth
whenever it is 3 inches to 5 inches long. Continue pinching as
needed until mid-July. Divide in the spring every 2 to 3 years.
