About this plant
Dendranthema 'Warm Igloo', a member of the Igloo series bred by Aris Horticulture, Inc. and introduced by Blooms of Bressingham, displays a profusion of bright orange-bronze decorative flowers. Blooming from late summer through autumn, this cultivar's tidy, dense mounds of color enhance garden borders and containers.
Originating from breeding programs aimed at producing hardy, low-maintenance mums with early flowering, 'Warm Igloo' thrives in Zones 3-9. Its resistance to deer and rabbits adds to its appeal for gardeners seeking vibrant, enduring fall color.

Design tip
Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. Give it open sun and room to fill out, and repeat it in threes or fives so the planting reads as one sweep instead of scattered dots.
