Huge disappointment! The mums arrived a cheerful Keylime green (which is what I wanted), I planted them immediately, and then about a week later the color changed to a dull light yellow.

I don't know why this gorgeous bright acid green mum is not more available in the nursery trade. In 2019 at Walmart in Bentonville Arkansas I purchased two; They were going like hotcakes and I got the last of them. They were large, full and loaded with flowers. The tag said Ball Seed Company and I looked them up but their website photo showed a more pale yellow green like maybe what you got. Mine however were a very saturated lime green, like the 'Kermit' mum in the cut flower trade. I've asked local nurseries to get them but so far they haven't. I think they don't believe they will sell, but they offer a strong and beautiful contrast when massed with the other mums. Sorry yours are not the right shade of green!

All three of my Key Lime mums had minimal blooms - and those flowers were very sunny yellow, not even close to green! My garden is all white, but I LOVE green mums, so this was going to be a cheat for me, but if they stay yellow, I'm going to have to rip all of them out. So annoying.
