Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema) Legal Pad Yellow

Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema) ‘Legal Pad Yellow’ (4 qt. Pot)
Garden Mum | Perennial | Zones 5–9

Legal Pad Yellow lives up to its name with bright, sunshine-yellow blooms that add a burst of color to the fall garden. This hardy garden mum features tidy, mounding foliage and dense, cushion-like blooms that appear just when the garden is winding down. Its late-season color and uniform shape make it a favorite for borders, containers, and fall displays.

Reliable and low maintenance, this perennial mum returns each year in zones 5–9 with a bit of winter protection. It thrives in full sun, resists deer, and provides a valuable nectar source for pollinators late in the season. Though short-stemmed, the blooms are long-lasting and perfect for casual cut flower arrangements.
