Merlot Chrysanthemum covers a fully mounded plant with vibrant, deep wine-red blooms. It comes from the Buzz series, known for early color and a uniform habit, so a row of them looks even and polished as summer turns to fall.

The neat dome shape is easy to use in pots, beds and borders, and the stems are good for cutting. Give it full sun and keep the soil evenly moist, especially in containers. Deer tend to leave it alone, and butterflies visit the flowers. The dark red pairs beautifully with silver foliage, cream flowers or the gold of ornamental grasses. Set a few in a large pot by the front door for an early welcome to the season.

Grower's note: Early bloomers like this one suit colder gardens, where they can finish flowering before a hard frost arrives.
