Chrysanthemum: Learn How To Plant, Care and Grow Magnificent Flowers
Beloved for their late summer and fall flowers, Chrysanthemums or mums are terrific plants for adding color in borders and containers. Usually easy to grow, these fall garden favorites make wonderful, long-lasting cut flowers too.
13 Types of Chrysanthemum for a splash of fall color in gardens and containers
Chrysanthemum blooms are composed of many tiny flowers called florets. Some have both disk and ray florets in the bloom heads, but others lack ray or disk florets. The National Chrysanthemum Society divides bloom forms into 13 classes ranging from single daisies to multi-petalled pompons, petite to giant blooms.
Most Fragrant Sweet Peas
From a fragrance standpoint, not all sweet peas are equal. Some exude a faint scent, others are well scented, and some are intensely fragrant. According to researchers, the fragrance of sweet peas is determined by six major components and 12 minor ones. This is the combination of these major ingredients with the minor ones, which grants sweet peas their delightful perfume.
