Perfectly Orange Mum is a compact evergreen perennial with a mounded habit and dark green foliage. The masses of large bright orange double flowers with darker centers cover the foliage and bloom from late summer through fall. Prefers full sun and moist well-drained soil, but protection from afternoon sun in Southern climates. Heat and drought tolerant. Note: avoid larger containers due to low vigor.
