Dendranthema 'Warm Igloo'

Warm Igloo Hardy Mum

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.

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.
