CHRYSANTHEMUM x morifolium 'Yocandle'(CANDLE) PP19697
Anemone Chrysanthemum
Bred for the florists' trade, this "anemone-type" chrysanthemum produces sprays of large, dusty-red, green-eyed blossoms on upright, 3-foot-tall (90 cm) stems. The 3-inch-wide (7.5 cm), semi-double blooms open in autumn under "natural" conditions, but greenhouse-grown plants can be forced into flower at other seasons. This vegetatively propagated cultivar was introduced and patented by Yoder Brothers of Barberton, Ohio.
C. × morifolium originated in eastern Asia, where this herbaceous perennial has been cultivated and bred for many centuries. Its many cultivars are grown for their showy blooms, which are borne above clumps of fragrant, deeply lobed leaves.
Like most mums, Candle thrives in full sun and a fertile, well-drained growing medium.
