Tri-Color Garden Mum — Dark Pink, Orange & Yellow (Chrysanthemum × morifolium) · 9" Pot

Three colors in one pot — dark pink, orange and yellow, opening together.

These came in barely started. Maybe one bud in ten is open right now, and that is exactly what you want. A mum already smothered in flowers has done most of its blooming somewhere else. This one will do its blooming on your porch, over the next few weeks.

Care is simple. Full sun, six hours or more, with a little afternoon shade if the heat hangs on. Water it daily while it is warm — a mum that dries out will bloom out early and be finished before October.

Then don't throw it away at Thanksgiving. Garden mums are perennial here in 7b. Plant it in the ground this fall and it comes back next spring as a tidy green mound, closer to a small boxwood than a flower, and does the whole show again in September.
