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may be taken tax-free once the owner is 59 1/2, significant tax consequences result when those dividends and gains are withdrawn early.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.
Plant mums in a location that receives at least six hours of daily sunlight. Too little sunlight can reduce flower bud production and result in small, weak blooms. Pinch back the growing tips of the mums at two- to four-week intervals from planting until the beginning of July. Pinch each time the mums grow to about 6 inches high, reducing the stem length to about 4 inches.
