This is the time when tired gardens need a boost. Late-blooming chrysanthemums have been lurking under and behind the summer flowers for some time. They now have buds that are opening. I am not a fan of the too-sturdy and stiff varieties that are sold in pots, fully blooming. Instead, give me these daisy-like chrysanthemums. They fit in nicely with the grasses and remaining seed heads in gardens meant to sustain the birds and insects. Best of all, they come in whole range of colors, yellow, pink, orange and russet, echoing the changing leaves overhead.
