Arctic Daisy
Arctanthemum arcticum
The Arctic Daisy, Arctanthemum arcticum, is a bright, vibrant perennial flower native to the Arctic and Subarctic regions of Canada. A hardy and resilient species, Arctic Daisies can bloom even on rocky and barren tundras. Their cheerful daisy-like white petals with yellow-centered flowers bring color and life to the arctic landscape. These low-maintenance plants can survive long, cold winters with temperatures below -40°C. When the warmer summer months bring temperatures up, Arctic Daisies bloom and thrive. Showy and hardy, these lovely blooms will brighten up any Far North garden.
