General Information
Long after most flowers are gone, and even fall Mums are starting to fade, these bright beauties glow in the garden. The flowers completely cover the plants.

Plant Care
Pinch back and divide like mums for best display. General rule of thumb is to pinch until 4th of July and not after. Pinching yields better branching and more flowers.
