This hardy perennial mum,  Chrysanthemum  x "Bolero," performs much like "Clara Curtis."  The difference is it's a tad shorter, but only a tad.  Chrysanthemum "Bolero" grows to about two and a half feet, and it has large, single daisy-like blooms that open as bronze/apricot and then fade to yellow (see photo below).  It adds a welcome splash of color in fall and has a most agreeable spreading habit.  Sun, average soil.  Zones (5?) 6-8.

Chrysanthemum x rubellum "Clara Curtis" is a true, hardy Chrysanthemum -  not the short, annual type you see for sale everywhere in the fall.  "Clara Curtis" grows between two and three feet tall and has single,
bright pink daisy-like flowers with yellow centers.  The flowers are
large and showy and add a bold splash color to your fall garden; they're also ideal for cutting.  "Clara Curtis" is also a reliable spreader and is long lived.  Sun and average soil.  Zones 4-9.   Quarts.

There is no photo yet of "Mary Stoker," but this beautiful stamp from Paraguay showing a vase of yellow mums will do the job nicely. Chrysanthemum x rubellum "Mary Stoker" is an old and reliable mum, like Clara Curtis, with large, showy straw yellow blooms with a drop of pink mixed in.  "Mary Stoker" grows to about 30 inches in sun/partial shade and is not only perfect for the garden but also tubs and containers.  "Mary Stoker" should be divided every few years to maintain its vigor.  Zones 4-9.  Quarts.  (Stamp, issued in 1993,  by Lili del Monico, from Wiki Commons, and in the public domain.)

I have loved "mums" since childhood, and I especially love their scent.  On crisp fall mornings, my mother used to go out and cut bouquets, still dripping
with morning dew, and wrap them in newspaper for me to take to school for my teachers.  Perennial hardy mums come in
a wide array of forms and colors, and they grow tall and are showier than the
tight, short ones that are so ubiquitous in early fall.  Chrysanthemum "Emperor of China" grows from three to four feet tall in full sun and delights with its highly fragrant, soft pink double blooms that are large and showy.  They are also ideal for cutting your own bouquets for teachers and anyone else you want to impress.  Zone 4-9.

"Mei-Kyo" is a cutie.  The double blooms are smaller than those of some of the other mums listed - only about an inch and a half in diameter - but it makes up for it by blooming its head off.  The blooms are a rich pink and are long lasting, too.  Not only that, but the blooms stay fresh and the color doesn't seem to fade.  "Mei-Kyo" grows to 24 inches in full sun in Zones 4-9.  Quarts.

Everything about this single fall daisy is stunning: its foliage, its color and, oh, yes, its fragrance.  This mounding,  hardy mum grows from two to three feet tall is covered in two-inch blooms that open as apricot and fade to pink; the blooms are long lasting, too.  Chrysanthemums with single blooms are my favorite, and this one is no exception.  Move over, Clara.  Zones 4-9.
