Chrysanthemum X 'Gethsemane Moonlight' - SFA Gardens

and enjoyed year after year. These easy going perennials make themselves at home in any sunny
location with a moderate amount of water. They border on drought tolerant, but definitely
appreciate a weekly drink in the summer. Cut back foliage by no more than one third
periodically throughout spring and early summer to encourage branching and sturdier stems.
Stop shearing by mid-July so as not to delay fall bloom.
‘Gethsemane Moonlight’ is one of our better performing garden mums, and definitely the best
yellow we’ve trialed thus far. Flowers are excellent cut flowers and will attract a host of very
unusual pollinators. This is our last mum to bloom in the fall.
