‘Brandywine Sunset’ is a fall-blooming mum selected for its rich, warm sunset-colored flowers. It is especially useful for bringing strong color into the garden when summer perennials are beginning to decline. The numerous blooms can create an impressive mound of color when the plant is grown in full sun with adequate moisture and good fertility. Mums work particularly well in mixed perennial borders, containers, cottage gardens, and fall displays. For a fuller plant, regular pinching earlier in the season can encourage additional branching and flower stems; once flower buds begin forming, allow the plant to grow without further pinching.
Height: Approximately 18–24 in
Width: Approximately 18–24 in
Flower time: Late summer–fall
Sun/Shade: Full sun
