Chrysanthemum × morifolium ‘Autumn Glory’ mix
Garden Mum |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.145.590
Garden Mums or Fall Mums are extremely popular plants for a splash of colour in late summer right through the fall. This seed strain produces naturally cushion-shaped, compact plants with double and semi-double flowers in a whole range of rich jewel tones. Best in a sunny area, with regular watering through the season. Divide every 2 to 3 years in the spring, to maintain vigorous, healthy plants. A great choice for the garden, or in tubs and mixed containers. Pinching plants in June should not really be necessary, but will result in a much greater number of flowers. This variety is no longer being actively produced by Heritage Perennials. CAUTION: May cause skin allergy.
