'TWILIGHT BRONZE' Decorative-flowered Garden Mum (Chrysanthemum x morifolium 'twilight bronze')

A mid-season garden mum for bright garden color to usher in your fall look. 'Sunrise Yellow' has 3" honey-bronze petals intensifying to red-bronze centers in ball-type flowers covering the entire plant. The attractive 24" dark-green foliage forms a densely mounded display of autumn cheer!

Mums enjoy heavy feeding during their growth and development stage and respond well to periodic pinching to encourage a bushy branching habit. Stop pinching at the beginning of July except to shape plants for optimal garden displays. Most decorative garden Mums are hardy down to zone 6, but many will successfully winter over in zones 5 and even 4 if mulched during the winter and then uncovered in late winter or early spring to avoid retaining water at the plant crown.
