Chrysanthemum rubellum 'Hillside Sheffield Pink' |
These are just a few names you might find attached to this beautiful hardy mum which is blooming at the Arboretum this month. It has a looser structure than the mums for sale everywhere this time of year. It, however, is one that reliably returns each year and slowly spreads to create a lovely mass of flowers. This is often called an heirloom variety. You may not find it for sale at local nurseries. However, there is a very good chance we will have it at our Spring Plant Sale (May 19, 2018).
