Chrysanthemum multiflora Double Yellow

Common Name: Florist's Daisy 'Double Yellow'

Description: Chrysanthemum × morifolium 'Double Yellow' is a perennial plant celebrated for its vibrant double-layered yellow blooms that add a cheerful touch to gardens and floral arrangements. The plant features dark green, lobed leaves that provide a striking contrast to its bright flowers. Flowering occurs from late summer through autumn, offering a prolonged display of color. In Melbourne's climate, 'Double Yellow' chrysanthemums thrive in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. They prefer regular watering to maintain soil moisture but are relatively drought-tolerant once established. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering, and dividing the clumps every few years helps maintain plant vigor. These chrysanthemums are versatile, suitable for use in borders, mass plantings, containers, and as cut flowers. They are also known for their air-purifying qualities, making them beneficial for indoor environments.
