Appearance
The flowers have many different forms, from open daisies to multi-petalled pompoms, large and small. They come in lots of colours and shades, from pink, purple and red, to orange, yellow and white.
Preferences
Chrysanthemums enjoy a warm, sunny and sheltered spot. They need fertile and moist but well-drained peat-free compost or soil.
Dislikes
Most won’t survive heavy frosts or waterlogged soil. They don’t perform well in dry conditions, poor soil or shade.
Did you know?
Chrysanthemums work well with other autumn-flowering border plants, such as salvias, sedums and asters, as well as ornamental grasses.
