(Decorative Chrysanthemum, Janice Chrysanthemum)

The bright yellow blooms of ‘Janice’ are fully double and add a sunny touch to the fall garden. Like other decorative mums, it is a heavy-flowering selection that adopts a uniform cushion habit.

In spring, this clump-forming herbaceous perennial puts forth dense stems lined with medium green, fragrant, lobed leaves. In late spring to early summer it should be pinched back to encourage a more uniform shape and to increase the density of flower buds for fall. It begins flowering in late summer...

The double-flowered garden chrysanthemum 'Jennifer' (also known as Jennifer™ Bronze Bicolor) produces masses of pale orange, coral-centered blossoms on densely branched, dome-shaped, 12- to 18-inch (30 to 45 cm) plants. The 2.5- to 3-inch-wide (6.5 to 7.5 cm), many-petaled blooms open from mahogany-red buds in late summer and early autumn, midway in the fall "mum" season. This cultivar was introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio, and is available only as vegetatively propagated plants.

(Florists' Chrysanthemum, Single Chrysanthemum)

Developed for use as a cut flower, 'Joker' produces sprays of red, yellow-eyed "daisies" on tall stems. The 3-inch-wide (7 to 7.5 cm), single to semi-double, long-lasting blooms appear in autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown specimens will flower 8 weeks after 2 weeks of "long-night" treatment (13.5 hours or more). This vegetatively propagated mum was introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio.

(Irregular Incurve Chrysanthemum, Kokka Senkin Chrysanthemum)

This "irregular incurve" florists' chrysanthemum produces large, butter-yellow, many-petaled blooms from mid- to late autumn. Each blossom has a central cushion of relatively short, infolded inner petals, surrounded by a fringe of longer, drooping petals. The blooms are borne on branching stems above 18- to 24-inch (45 to 60 cm) clumps of lobed, pungently scented leaves. Plants are sometimes "disubdded" (all side buds removed) to produce a solitary, exceptionally large bloom.

The 3.5- to 4-inch-wide (9 to 10 cm), many-petaled blooms appear in autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown plants will flower about 8 weeks after 2 weeks of "long-night" treatment (13.5 hours or more). This vegetatively propagated mum was introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio. It is grown and sold as a seasonal pot plant.
