Chrysanthemum Robinsons mix

Description

Pyrethrum roseum, Margareta Robinson mix, Painted Daisy

Simple and double large flowers in bright shades of rose and crimson with small yellow centers bloom on long stems above feathery foliage. This chrysanthemum prefers light, rich, well-drained soil in a sunny position; where the climate is hot, a mild afternoon shade is useful as well as extra moisture.

Sow seed into a well-prepared bed in autumn or spring and thin the seedlings as they grow on. Alternatively, sow under glass in seed trays, and gradually harden off the plants before planting outside after all risk of frost has passed. Once established, divide over-congested clumps in autumn or spring. Sow: March-May or September-October
