Our camera doesn't capture the pastel earthy orange tint of 'Terracotta'

Chrysanthemum ‘Terracotta' - Single earthy orange single daisies with a button yellow disc at the heart. Our pics don't capture the actual tint of color unfortunately which is very close to terracotta. It really is an earth orange but on the medium to pastel range rather than like an iron ore. (If you want a color approaching iron ore but brighter and prettier see 'Tuscan Sun'.) All of our cultivars are propagated by cuttings and are pot-grown.

We strongly recommend spring planting in colder regions so that the plants will be well-established by the time cold weather arrives. Cut them back to a lower leaf axil by mid-July in the north, earlier farther south; doing so will result in better-branched plants on a more compact habit adorned with even more flowers at season’s end. But if you don’t, regardless, you’ll have multitudes of flowers on longer stems but possibly more decumbent plants. Plant all mums in full to part sun in fertile draining soil. Honeybees love them as this is one of the last flowering perennials to bloom in such abundance in the autumn in New England, along with some of the later asters.
