Chrysanthemum × rubellum ‘Mary Stoker’
Fall Chrysanthemum |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.145.260
A very old and reliable selection of Mum, that has stood the test of time. Plants form a bushy mound of light green leaves, bearing loose sprays of large, single soft yellow daisies, blushed with apricot. Pinching in June will help to keep plants bushy and compact. Early to flower. Attractive to butterflies. Divide every 2 to 3 years in spring to prevent plants from becoming old and woody. Adapts well to growing in tubs and mixed containers. Excellent for cutting. CAUTION: May cause skin allergy.
