Warning. While gains and dividends in a Roth IRA are not taxable when earned, and may be taken tax-free once the owner is 59 1/2, significant tax consequences result when those dividends and gains are withdrawn early. Early withdrawals from a Roth IRA are subject to ordinary income taxes and a 10 percent penalty.
Mums (Chrysanthemums) were cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. The ancient Chinese made good use of the mum flower, with the root brewed in a tea to alleviate headaches, and as a remedy for flu. Mums (Chrysanthemums) are usually considered herbaceous perennials. Mums (Chrysanthemums) come in a wide variety of colors, including white, off-white, yellow, gold, bronze, red, burgundy, pink, lavender and purple.
Chrysanthemums, or hardy garden mums, like full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. They need regular watering because their roots are very shallow. These hardy garden mums were recently placed in the genus Dendranthema, which is a now a separate genus from the marginally hardy florist mums.
