Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemums are dependable, clump-forming perennials prized for providing vibrant late-summer and autumn colour in borders and containers. Best in full sun and fertile, moist but well‑drained soil, they produce a long display from late August into autumn; regular deadheading helps extend the flowering season. Compact forms typically reach about 40cm high and wide, making them easy to place near the front or middle of a mixed border and useful for cutting.
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
