Chrysanthemum x morifolium 'Yolanda Yellow' ~ Yolanda™ Yellow Mum

Yolanda™ Yellow Mum is a compact perennial with a dense, tidy mounded habit and masses of clear, rich golden-yellow double flowers that create a bright display of fall color. Its naturally uniform growth and concentrated flowering make it especially effective for adding bold seasonal color to garden beds, borders, and containers. Dark green foliage forms a dense backdrop for the abundant blooms, which begin opening in late summer and provide their strongest display through fall. The fully double flowers cover the rounded plant in rich golden yellow, creating a full, colorful display as many summer-flowering plants begin to fade. Yolanda™ Yellow flowers best in full sun and fertile, moist, well-drained soil. In Southern climates, protection from intense afternoon sun can help maintain the best foliage and flower quality. It is heat and drought tolerant once established, though consistent moisture supports the strongest overall performance. Type: Perennial Height: 1.5’ - 2’ Spread: 1.5’ - 2' Spacing: 1.5’ USDA Hardiness Zone: 5 - 8 Culture: Full Sun, Part Sun Bloom Color: Yellow Season of Interest: Fall MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Water regularly during establishment and throughout extended dry periods, allowing the soil to remain evenly moist but well drained. Pinch back stems as needed in late spring and early summer to encourage a fuller habit and control height, but avoid late-season pinching that can remove developing flower buds. Watch for aphids, thrips, and spider mites. Potential disease problems include Botrytis, leaf spot, rust, powdery mildew, stem and root rot, verticillium wilt, aster yellows, and viruses.
