chrysanthemums

During the 20th century, growers learned to grow flowers with taller, straighter stems, less blemishes, and, also, to force blooms out of season.

Spring is a time to plant perennial chrysanthemums. They'll mature during the summer and produce breathtaking fall color in your garden.

By the end of the 1800s, most types of chrysanthemums had arrived in America.

The name chrysanthemum is from the Greek word for gold “chrysos” and “anthos,” which means flower.

Thanks to many years of dedicated plant hybridizing, it is now possible to have four seasons of color in our gardens.
