The development of the mass-produced all-year-round chrysanthemum, synonymous with forlorn petrol station forecourts offerings, has done little to promote the garden-worthiness of the genus. Modern breeding techniques tend to focus on compactness and bright colours over longevity and many new chrysanthemum cultivars struggle to live up to the garden-worthiness of their older counterparts, but that is beginning to change.<\/p>\n
Season:<\/strong> The pleasing mass of silvery foliage<\/a> is an excellent foil for other plants earlier in the year and as the frosts begin to nip there are few flowers for which a gardener can feel so grateful.<\/p>\n
Conditions:<\/strong> Most chrysanthemums are well suited to a sunny border<\/a> and are adaptable to a range of soils<\/a> \u2013 although they prefer not to sit wet during the winter and resent drying out in the summer<\/a>. A good feed of organic fertiliser<\/a> in spring and a mulch<\/a> layer to retain moisture will set a chrysanthemum up for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n
Hardiness:<\/strong> Although the RHS has given most a hardiness rating<\/a> of H4, meaning they are hardy to temperatures of around -5\u00b0C to -10\u00b0C, the average for a UK winter, many have survived Dutch winters down to -20\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

A glorious, almost dahlia-like bloom of blood red chrysanthemum. A vigorous plant with fully double flowers that remain somewhat exposed in the centre. This chrysanthemum cultivar name translates as \u2018focal point\u2019 and, with its tall yet sturdy stems, that is something it certainly provides among the browns of autumn. 80cm.<\/p>

Introduced in 1974, this chrysanthemum\u2019s name translates as \u2018little bee\u2019, which perfectly describes the golden yellow pompoms marked with a reddish brown heart in September. This cultivar performed well in German perennial trials with its compact and very branching habit. 70cm.<\/p>

An old French chrysanthemum cultivar that came to De Hessenhof via a Belgian plant fair. The soft apricot-orange petals fading to a warm yellow heart are deserving of its name. This extremely long-flowering cultivar can produce blooms as early as the beginning of August<\/a> and will continue to the frosts. 80cm.<\/p>

\u00a9 Jason Ingram<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\nFergus Garrett,<\/a> head gardener of Great Dixter<\/a>, brought this cultivar to De Hessenhof as a gift.

A strong, double red chrysanthemum with smallish flowers about 4cm across. These are held on sturdy stems and were well received at the German perennial trials. This cardinal red makes a big impact among blue asters and the browns of the fading blooms of ornamental grasses. September to October. 70cm.<\/p>

A relatively new chrysanthemum release from Eugen Schleipfer in 2015, with nearly spherical, double flowers of intense red edged with golden yellow. The name means pomegranate and each petal ends in a distinctive point. Reportedly extremely hardy but yet to be tested at De Hessenhof. 60cm.<\/p>
