The breeder describes this species as a "unique and eye-catching magenta-purple ring of color surrounding a bright green disc, with pink petals." This tough cultivar will tolerate the first light freezes of fall while maintaining its distinctively colored flowers and compact spreading habit. Mums benefit from planting into the garden or containers before the buds begin to show color—this permits their root system to establish itself before the high water use flowers come into their full glory. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds are all attracted to the nectar-rich flowers.
