Chrysanthemum rubellum 'Clara Curtis' 24w32 5yo

Chrysanthemum rubellum 'Clara Curtis' 24w32 5yo Mum F2 (Heirloom) Garden Mum, 18x18in.@ Maturity, Pink single daisy flowers w/yellow centers, Hardy to Zone 4, Garden F2 (SRC bluestone) PLTD 2019.

 

Heirloom aka Dendranthema 'Clara Curtis' or 'Country Girl'. Possibly bred by Amos Perry (circa 1930's), a grower/breeder from Enfield. Ryan's Pink is similar or the same as Clara Curtis. An old fashioned mum. Tolerates some shade. The leaves are very attractive.

 

My last one only survived 2 years. Planted this one in a different garden, morning sun. Looks good so far. Splayed, needs support.
