(Single Chrysanthemum)

The chrysanthemum Ivory Eugene™ produces masses of creamy-white, yellow-eyed "daisies" on bushy, rounded, 12- to 16-inch (30 to 40 cm) plants. The 3-inch-wide (7.5 cm), single to semi-double blooms open in autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown specimens can be forced into flower at other seasons. Eugene™ Series cultivars were introduced by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio. These vegetatively propagated mums are grown and sold as seasonal pot plants.

(Belgian Hardy Mum, Decorative Chrysanthmum, Jambo Chrysanthemum)

Small, fully double, lavender-pink flowers cover this hardy perennial in mid-fall. It adopts a perfect cushion mum habit and blends beautifully with other brightly colored bedding plants for fall.

In spring, this clump-forming herbaceous perennial develops dense stems lined with medium green, fragrant lobed leaves. It begins flowering in mid fall and continues for several weeks afterward. Its flowers are small, uniform and cover the plants so densely it is hard to see the foliage below.
