Chrysanthemum Spp. Double Pink

Common Name: Florist's Daisy 'Double Pink'

Description: Chrysanthemum × morifolium 'Double Pink' is a perennial plant renowned for its abundant double-layered pink blooms that bring a soft, elegant touch to gardens and floral arrangements. The plant features dark green, lobed leaves that contrast beautifully with its pastel flowers. Flowering occurs from late summer through autumn, providing an extended period of color. In Melbourne's climate, 'Double Pink' chrysanthemums flourish in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. They prefer regular watering to maintain soil moisture but are relatively drought-tolerant once established. Removing 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.
