Description:
These tidy deer resistant and butterfly attracting perennials will bloom in
June and then again in September. The flowers last well into frost.
Unlike other garden mums, these are hardy and will return
year after year! Their domed habit creates a mound of 2 feet tall by
2.5 feet wide.
Mass them in mixed borders with ornamental grasses, asters and
stonecrops. In containers they look handsome when accessorized with a
variety of gourds and small pumpkins.
