Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum ‘Buninyong Bronze’

This is the only perpetual flowering Chrysanthemum I’ve ever grown. From spring until early winter and beyond this plant produces a continual display of small bronze-red flowers. I grew it in pots at the front door last season but it is just as happy in the garden.

Low Growing Garden Chrysanthemums for a Great Autumn Display

These Garden Chrysanthemums have been bred for garden display rather than for cut flowers. Fairly low growing and strongly upright in habit they will make a fabulous display next autumn. If planted during the next few weeks they will grow 50cm tall with a spread of 60cm. Plant in a sunny spot in well dug soil or potting mix and water regularly.

These garden Chrysanthemums are as beautiful in pots (a 30cm pot would be best) as they are in the garden but if grown in pots will need to be watered daily.

Garden Chrysanthemums make long lasting cut flowers too.
