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.
Chrysanthemum 'Clara Curtis' is easy to grow and offer terrific value for money, as they will usually produce lots of flowers over a very 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.
For best blooms, feed every two weeks during the growing season with a high-potash fertiliser. Cut back old stems to ground level in late winter new growth emerges. These plants may need winter protection in colder regions - a dry mulch of straw or fleece will protect the crown. Remove spent blooms regularly to extend the flowering period well into autumn.

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
