General Culture:

Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Foliage may be pinched back in early summer to stimulate new variegated leaf growth.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

‘Shogun’ is a kalimeris cultivar that is noted for its lance-shaped green leaves with wide creamy white margins. Leaf variegation fades as the summer progresses. Daisy-like flowers (to 1” diameter) with lavender rays and yellow centers bloom in early fall on flowering stems rising to 12-15” tall. Kalimeris flowers are very similar in appearance to aster and boltonia.

Problems:

No significant insect or disease problems. Watch for root rot in poorly drained soils.

Uses:

Mass or small groups in borders or rock gardens.
