these varieties bloom for us every year. Thousands

BONFIRE. This new mum has several character-

not only is one of the hardiest varieties we have ever

other varieties. The long stems and fine blooming 
habits make it ideal for cutting. The color is a rare 
combination of red and bronze which changes under 
varying weather conditions.
