Cheryl Spicy Orange Mum is a dwarf evergreen perennial with a tidy mounded habit and dark green foliage. The masses of large bright orange double flowers with spicy red centers that mellow to orange cover the foliage throughout fall. Prefers full sun and moist well-drained soil, but protection from afternoon sun in Southern climates. Heat and drought tolerant.
