Plant description
Large, single, deep-pink flowerheads with greenish-yellow centres, which gradually turn yellow, appear in great abundance for a long period from late summer to early autumn. These plants are easy to grow and great value for money as they will usually produce lots of flowers over a long period of time. A firm favourite for the garden as they will carry on flowering when many other plants have given up completely.

How to care for Chrysanthemum Clara Curtis:
Insert twiggy prunings early in the season to provide invisible and effective support. Avoid overly wet or waterlogged conditions in winter and apply a thick 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch around the base of the plant in Spring, taking care not to cover the crown.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
