Chrysanthemum Maximum Silver Princess Shasta. This pure white perennial wildflower with yellow anthers is a happy, hardy plant that will brighten up any space it is in. Blooming from June to fall, this mounding plant is popular for its adaptability, noticeable size, and grows more compact and neat, making it even more desirable. The flowers are very unique in that the petals open in the morning and close at night. The foliage is dark green and neatly shaped, and is happy in most soils as long as it is well drained. It is fast growing and will give you blooms its first season planted from seed. This wonderful plant is easy to grow, but if you will be planting them in an area that is generally cool and damp, keep an eye out for powdery mildew and holes on its leaves.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
