Flamingo Chrysanthemum Combo (Chrysanthemum 'Flamingo Mix')
kris-AN-theh-mum 'Flamingo Mix'

Deciduous Perennial (usually grown as an annual near you) Mounded in the Asteraceae Family
One each Cranberry (clear red), Pineapple (soft pink outer petals, cool yellow inside), Pink (bright, coral pink) in one pot.

A pre-made combination planter pairing three cultivars from the Proven Selections(R) 'Flamingo' garden mum series in one pot: Flamingo Cranberry Red (clear red with gold centers), Flamingo Pineapple (yellow tinged orange and pink), and Flamingo Pink (pink with coral centers). Like other garden mums, these are true herbaceous perennials that are most commonly grown and sold here as one season of fall color rather than carried over as long-term perennials.

Pros

  • Three distinct Flamingo-series colors in one container
  • No need to plan a color scheme - it's built in
  • Long bloom window from late summer through fall, tolerant of frost
  • Attracts late-season pollinators, butterflies, and hummingbirds

Cons

  • Usually grown and sold here as a fall annual display, not a dependable perennial
  • Benefits from weekly fertilizing and deadheading while in bloom
This plant may be mostly winter-hardy outdoors where you live, but it may need protection to survive extreme weather.
Highlights

A ready-made trio of Flamingo-series mums - cranberry red, pineapple, and pink - in one pot.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
