Florists love them for their fall bounty and wide range of colors, including yellow, orange, red, rust, purple, cream, rose, lavender, and white. Feverfew self-sows freely; others can be easily divided or grown from seed. Few buds make for larger blooms, if that’s your intent. The chrysan themum is November’s flower, and it’s said that fhe unfolding of her petals represents human perfection . . . all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye. - Alexander Pope kt Remember to pinch chrysanthemums back for a bushier look.
