Objective: To develop prairie hardy mums with flower colours and/or<br />
plant forms that are new to the prairie group.<br />
It has been over twenty years since a new prairie hardy mum has been<br />
introduced. Most of the existing prairie cultivars have flowers that are<br />
compact and limited flower colours. New hardy mums having large<br />
flowers with fluted petals in different colours would be welcomed.<br />
Crosses were made among chrysanthemums varieties from the Morden<br />
and Minnesota series. It was clear to see that some of the resulting<br />
hybrids flowered earlier than others. The early flowering seedlings<br />
with outstanding blooms were selected and are being increased.<br />

Hardy garden mums are a great addition to the fall landscape. These<br />
mums flower in early September when most perennials and annuals<br />
have stopped blooming. Garden chrysanthemums should be divided<br />
every second year to ensure a healthy growing plant.<br />
