Pop Eye Orange Mum
Pop Eye Orange Mum
Like it's cartoon namesake, this mum is tough with strong stems that hold up well in heavy rains and high winds. Double orange flowers with a greenish-bronze eye begin early in the season (late August) and continue to the end of October (or later - depending on first date of hard freeze). Plant them while still in green bud, showing no color, to allow their root system to get established for best results. Like other mums, it is highly attractive to all manner of pollinating insects.
