Chrysanthemum
The species of Chrysanthemum are
herbaceous perennial plants growing to
50–150 cm tall, with deeply lobed leaves
and large flowerheads, white, yellow or
pink in the wild species.
Modern chrysanthemums are much more
showy than their wild relatives. This genus
contains many hybrids and thousands of
cultivars developed for horticultural
purposes. In addition to the traditional
yellow, other colors are available, such as
white, purple, and red.

ge nera an d ab out 20 ,000 sp ecie s .

Some chrysanthemums are a mix of two and even more
colors.
Chrysanthemums are broken into two basic
groups, Garden Hardy and Exhibition. Garden
hardy mums are perennials capable of being
wintered over in the ground in most northern
latitudes. Exhibition varieties are not usually as
sturdy. Garden hardies are defined by their ability
to produce an abundance of small blooms with
little if any mechanical assistance (ie. staking)
and withstanding wind and rain. Exhibition
varieties on the other hand require staking, over-
wintering in a relatively dry cool environment,
sometimes with the addition of night lights.
Chrysanthemums are easy to be grown and are
propagated by division of roots, cuttings and
seeds. Chrysanthemums are not specific to any
season. Chrysanthemum plants can be grown in
any kind of soil, but they require a sunny weather
for best performance. Ch rysa nthem um s ha ve
a l ong f lo we ring pe riod. Chrysanthemum
seeds are sown in those areas which experience
low rainfall during the rainy season. Usually, the
Chrysanthemum seedlings are transplanted after
about a month of sowing. But sometimes seeds
can also be sown directly in situ and seedlings
thinned out after germination. Chrysanthemum
plants flower in about three months of sowing.

Chrysanthemums come in a wide variety of flower
forms and colors, and both annual and perennial
types are available. All make great cut flowers and
most have a pleasant fragrance. Those with showy
flower heads such as pompons, quill and spider
types are quite popular, but the graceful single
and double types are also well worth growing. The
two most popular growing types are upright forms
and cushion forms, which tend to grow into a neat
mound. All are suitable for borders and cutting
gardens. Chrysanthemums are the highlight of the
garden in late summer and fall when many other
flowers have faded. The cultivar shown at left is
'Mary Stoker.'
Chrysanthemums were cultivated in
China as a flowering herb as far back
as the 15th century BC. An ancient
Chinese city was named , meaning
"chrysanthemum city". The plant is
particularly significant during the
Double Ninth Festival. The flower was
introduced into Japan probably in the
8th century AD, and the Emperor
adopted the flower as his official seal
. There is a "Festival of Happiness" in
Japan that celebrates the flower.
