Let me introduce you to a favorite plant in my Northwest Indiana garden,
zone 5. The maps at right will help you understand your area's zone number.

The garden mum 'Brandi' combines excellence in growth habit along with flower
power. Developing an ideal cushion growth habit with flexible
stems and large, deep red flowers, this is a fall stand-out. 'Brandi' reaches a height
of about 18 inches, preferring
a sunny location and well-drained soil. This mum is
great for containers and fall plantings. It should be treated as
an annual in our zone 5 gardens as it only has a cold tolerance to 20°F.
