Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemums 
While the Mountain Chrysanthemum is extremely hardy when planted in the garden, 
it also makes an ideal pot plant when grown in either bush or trailing form. 
The Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum has a great range of colors, including pure 
white, lemon, golden yellow, pink, rose, scarlet, crimson and many other intermediate 
shades. It has varied forms of flowers such as large and small double, semi-double, 
single, quilled and crested. 
While the Mountain Chrysanthemum is a perennial, it blooms the first year from seed. 
By proper pinching and staking you can grow them to the most showy and artistic style 
of hanging or spray pot plants (see picture). The flowers keep in good growing condi¬ 
tion a month or more after cutting, and unlike most varieties of Chrysanthemums, the 
foliage keeps fresh and green. The blooming plants sell themselves wherever shown.
