Looking for a splash of late summer colour? Chrysanthemums are a wonderful choice and will reward with vibrant blooms until the first frost if looked after properly. The flowers have many different forms from open daisies to pompoms, and colours range from lime greens and hot pinks to shades of red, orange and yellow. Chrysanthemums enjoy a warm, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Good planting companions include other autumn-flowering border plants such as salvias, sedums and asters.
