    If you like late summer and fall color in your gardens, mums are a good choice. 'Starlight' is a good all around plant and is almost maintenance free. A single 3-4 Inch potted plant will easily mature into a nice sized clump in the first summer with loads of flowers. White petals surround a soft yellow center making the effect very pleasing. I've grown the same clump in my gardens for at least 15 years with plenty of starts to give away and transplant.
