Dendranthema 'Fireworks Igloo'

The Igloo series of hardy Dendranthema (formerly classified as Chrysanthemum) offers dome-shaped, first-year flowering plants that throw lots of colorful flowers. The stylish Dendranthema 'Fireworks Igloo' is an able, if slightly more bohemian, member of the clan, offering up a profusion of slender-petaled, spider-form lavender-pink flowers in fall. In keeping with family tradition, ‘Fireworks Igloo’ was bred for ease of care and requires no pinching to keep plants compact and covered with blooms. PP 26,666

The genus Dendranthema, commonly known as Hardy Mums, is part of the Asteraceae family and encompasses numerous species native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Extend the season of color in your autumn garden with these hardy, low-maintenance Mums. These fuss-free perennials produce tidy, dense mounds of spectacular color and begin flowering in late summer and, given adequate hydration, will carry on until a hard frost. Plants are available in a wide range of rich colors from golden yellow and dusky pink to sienna orange and deep purple. Sizes vary, too, with smaller varieties topping out around 12" and larger specimens reaching roughly 3'. The range of colors and sizes invites gardeners to create layered displays in the fall garden where Mums show beautifully alone, in groups, or amid other late-season favorites including Ornamental Grasses, Sedums, and Asters.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone.
