Growing heritage chrysanthemums is cultivating the rare of the rare. These varieties are not available for sale. Central Carolina Chrysanthemum Society's 2021 project was to attempt the reemergence of the shown cultivars. The group's most experienced growers were successful. The plan is to replant the wintered over cutting to bloom in 2022.
There are 14 heritage mums in the slide show looping to the right
