Not sure whether they'll survive a hard winter here, but I might just set some out before the ground freezes and see whether they can make it in the wild.

I think mums are one of those flowering plants that is a versatile workhorse -- not the first flower you'd run out and buy when you start gardening, it grows on you (no pun intended) after years of experience.WashingtonGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-19188245389721219742012-11-05T03:38:22.212-05:002012-11-05T03:38:22.212-05:00Chrysanthemums are always sold en masse at local h...Chrysanthemums are always sold en masse at local hardware stores or supermarkets and end up on the compost heap ( if lucky) after the flowers have gone. Which is such a waste. I am glad you have posted info on how to take care of them. True enough they provide colour in the dreary autumn garden but to be honest, I would only grow them if they are a bit different, like these Sheffield pinks.lailahttp://www.sowandso.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-40743903001586816482012-11-05T00:24:04.796-05:002012-11-05T00:24:04.796-05:00What a descriptive writer you are--"quiet fol...What a descriptive writer you are--"quiet foliage" is perfect.

This is something too few gardeners try. I now have four large clumps of mums divided from just one plant. They are one of the easiest, low maintenance perennials in my gardens.joene at joene's gardenhttp://www.joenesgarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
