Mum’s the Word
Painted daisy, Nippon daisy, feverfew, shasta daisy,
rainbow daisy, or any number of others . . . they’re
all chrysanthemums, the bane of spelling bee
contestants. 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.
