Fancy That Yellow Chrysanthemum...

Over summer I had the complete 'white pot craze' happening...
'Fancy That Yellow' Chrysanthemum.
And yellow was the flower colour craze!

In the plant rescue stand at the garden store, I found two half-dead chrysanthemum plants for $1.50 each.
Knowing darn well it's really had to kill a 'mum' I bought them thinking they would be perfect for my white pots on the back deck.  
And they grew... and they grew in their part shade position.
Healthy plants - no yellow flowers!
Lesson learnt - the pot must be placed in the FULL SUN ALL DAY to achieve the promised prolific flowering!
But by then summer was over and autumn had arrived. 
The myriad of white pots were all emptied of their plants,
 and the pots were put into storage for winter.
So these very healthy green foliage 'mums' were put into the garden bed.
In FULL SUN might I add.
Then look at what happened.

So really it's a lesson to read the plant label properly.
Full sun means just that!
