Chrysanthemum Harmony
Adding brilliance in the late season garden, Chrysanthemum ‘Harmony’ is a hardy garden mum featuring profuse sprays of large, up to 2.5 in. across (7 cm), bright yellow, daisy-like flowers. As the luminous blossoms age, they fade to creamy-yellow and pale pink. Blooming from late summer to late fall, the multibranched stems are covered with flowers which stand out against the green foliage.
