I enjoy the blooms of this purple mum every year from mid-July until frost without fail. It's hands-down the longest-blooming and prettiest mum I have ever grown. I received a division of this mum from my good friend Sue. Sue is glad that I grow it at my house, just in case something unforeseen happens to her plant, because it's very special to her.
The mum was a gift sent for Sue's sister Pat's funeral service several years ago; so it is a memento as well as a mum. Pat died from cancer, and although Pat's life was short, she lived a very interesting one. Although originally from La Crosse, Wisconsin, Pat spent a great deal of her life in Basin View, New South Wales, Australia. She loved the outdoors and was always up for an adventure and trying something new. And she is still missed.
So between Sue and I, we make sure we keep this beautiful mum constantly blooming.
