Born in the East, ancient chrysanthemums had only one shade - yellow. But many centuries have passed since then, and during this time breeders have managed to develop a huge number of flowers of various colors, sizes and shapes. Today we have collected for you a dozen magnificent varieties of large-flowered chrysanthemums!
Large-flowered chrysanthemums are perennial tall shrubs of the Aster family with a powerful, well-branched rhizome, long strong shoots and lush flowers with a diameter of 10 to 20 cm. These include most Indian chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum × indicum), as well as medium-sized and tall varieties of Korean (Chrysanthemum × koreanum).
The strong, elastic stems of the plants are pubescent or bare, and their length can vary from 50 cm to 1-1.2 m. The carved leaves are arranged alternately and are colored light or dark green. Flowers, consisting of many reed or tubular petals, have the shape of a basket or ball, and are also anemone-shaped and hemispherical.
Large-flowered chrysanthemums of modern varieties and hybrids are distinguished by petals of the most unusual shape - they can be needle-shaped, ray-shaped, spider-like and curly-bent. Huge double or semi-double inflorescences on long, strong stems are ideal for cutting, and therefore are often used by florists when composing bouquets and flower arrangements. Cut flowers stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
Large-flowered chrysanthemums do not have frost resistance, so in the middle zone they are often grown indoors or in containers, which are taken to a greenhouse or room for the winter.
We invite you to take a closer look at these gorgeous plants - you will probably want to place a couple of them in your garden!

cvetydoma.ru
Gray Lady is one of the largest varieties among single-headed chrysanthemums. Its straight, densely leafy stems grow up to 1 m in height, and are crowned with huge terry caps of inflorescences. The circumference of flowers can reach an incredible 30 cm!
The inflorescences of plants of this variety consist of long reed petals, colored dark pink on the inside and a lighter dusty shade on the outside. This combination adds volume to an already lush flower, gives grace and even some mystery.
Chrysanthemums of the Silver-haired Lady variety do not tolerate cold weather - when grown in open ground in a temperate climate, they must be dug up for the winter and transferred for storage to a cellar or basement.
What do needle chrysanthemums look like?
Chrysanthemums are very diverse - about 600 varieties of this beautiful plant are already known. Among them there are representatives of the group of needle-shaped or ray-shaped chrysanthemums. The petals of the flowers have a tongue shape. They are long, somewhat rolled inward, so they look very beautiful. In hybrid varieties, the “needles” may also be forked and untwisted.
The inflorescences are quite large, reaching 10 cm in diameter. The colors of needle-shaped chrysanthemums are varied: white, milky, yellow, red, orange, pink, crimson.
Recently, breeders have even managed to develop hybrids whose petals have a greenish tint. There are also varieties with a complex color scheme - the outer side of the petals is painted one color, the inner side another.
You can even buy blue needle-shaped chrysanthemums in flower shops. In fact, there are no such varieties in nature. They are obtained artificially using dyes. They are applied from a floral spray can. There is also a budget option - get a solution, make an oblique lower cut of the stem and leave the flower for 24-36 hours.
Gazelle
Gazelle is an exhibition variety of English selection with large hemispherical inflorescences. Snow-white terry buds reach an average size of 12-14 cm, and with good care they can grow up to 17 cm. In the core of the flower the shade can be cream.
The bush is tall, thin stems 70-80 cm long need support or garter. Small carved foliage of light green color creates a wonderful background for delicate flower heads that appear in August and remain a decoration of the garden until frost.
An interesting feature of the Gazelle variety is that its flowers are able to change shape depending on the length of daylight. With illumination of more than 10 hours a day, the inflorescences grow large and take on a flattened shape, and with a short day of light, the diameter of the flower decreases and it becomes rounded and convex.
Why do you dream of white chrysanthemums?
In dream interpretation, white chrysanthemums (as opposed to other colors) mean sadness or loss, which will ultimately give impetus to inner spiritual growth. Any actions with these flowers promise difficulties and adversity. A girl who sees them in a dream should be prepared to meet great love, which she will lose because of her pride and immoderate ambitions. Collecting chrysanthemums in a dream means facing troubles in real life.
White chrysanthemums: a sign of love and sadness. Often such dreams foreshadow heartache.
However, it is difficult to say unequivocally why white chrysanthemums are dreamed of. All known dream books give different, sometimes contradictory answers to this question. When deciphering a dream, the first thing you need to consider is whether you dreamed of a fresh or withered flower, or whether you saw one or several flowers in a dream.
So, for example, if you dreamed of a stranger presenting you with a lush, fresh bouquet, most likely a joyful event will happen in your life in the near future. If the presented composition of white chrysanthemums is not of the first freshness, expect trouble. The more flowers in the bouquet, the greater the joy or sorrow.
In any case, there is no need to attach too much importance to what white chrysanthemums mean in dreams. After all, their reliability is influenced by too many factors, including the day of the week and time of day.
Creamiest Yellow
The Kremist Yellow variety also belongs to the group of cut chrysanthemums due to its strong stems 70-90 cm high and huge lush spherical flowers. The inflorescences are painted in a rich yellow or lemon color and reach 14-18 cm in girth. When cut, subject to regular changes of water, they can last up to a month, which makes the flowers an excellent material for florists.
Plants of this variety are grown in open ground, planted in mixborders and borders; they are also good in container planting - as a decoration for terraces, balconies and winter gardens. Cremiest Yellow chrysanthemums bloom all autumn - from September to November, but in order to get such a long flowering, it is recommended to put them in a greenhouse or bring them into the house before frost sets in. If wintering in open ground, plants require dry shelter.
- What flowers can be brought into the house for the winter?
The first autumn frosts will cause many summer flowers to wither and die. But some of them can be saved by moving them into the house. Find out which ones.
Features of planting and propagation
Garden bush chrysanthemum is undemanding to the soil and planting site. The first stage of planting such a flower is to choose a suitable place. The plant will bloom even in partial shade, but it is still better to plant it in a sunny area. But it should be remembered that hot weather, especially at night, can negatively affect flowering.
There are several options for propagating such a plant. So, chrysanthemum propagation can occur in three ways:
- seeds;
- cuttings;
- dividing the bush.
Even if you have no experience in planting such flowers, you should not worry, since the plant is quite unpretentious, so planting it is not so difficult.
Growing from seeds
This landing option is not the most popular. The main disadvantage is that flowers grown from seeds are not always similar to the chrysanthemums from which the seeds were collected. To get flowering in the year of planting, you should grow seedlings, and only then transplant them into open ground. Seeds should be planted in January or February. This landing option involves the following algorithm of actions:
- Choose a suitable container in which the seedlings will grow. You can prepare peat for planting yourself. To do this, you need to mix peat with humus.
- Fill the container with soil. Be sure to place drainage at the bottom of the pot or box. You can use gravel, broken brick or expanded clay. Drainage is created to ensure that the soil does not become waterlogged when watering.
- Plant the seeds. Annuals should be planted to a depth of about 0.5 cm, and perennials should be placed deeper.
After planting seeds in pots, they should be looked after . The quality of care depends on how quickly the sprouts appear. The temperature of the room in which the plant is located should be 23-25 degrees. Under comfortable conditions, the first shoots begin to appear within 1.5-2 weeks after sowing the seeds.
The next stage is caring for the seedlings. When it has risen, it should be dived into different containers. For replanting, you should use the same soil that was used for planting the seeds. After picking, the plants need to be sprinkled with a special solution that will help them take root better.
In about a month, the seedlings should grow to 20 cm, and then they can be transplanted into open ground. When a constant temperature of 15-18 degrees is established, the seedlings can begin to harden. It can be planted in open ground as early as early June.
Planting seeds directly into the ground has its own characteristics. So, you need to follow the scheme:
- Make holes. Their distance between each other should be 20-25 cm. Then they should be spilled with warm water.
- Place 2-3 seeds in each hole and sprinkle them with a little soil.
- Cover the beds with garden film, and remove it after the first shoots appear.
- When the plants reach about 10 cm in height, the weakest ones can be removed.
Reproduction by cuttings
Growing a flower through cuttings is quite easy. This is the most common method. To replant, you simply need to separate a strong side shoot from the bouquet and plant it in open ground.
There is another option for propagation by cuttings - it involves purchasing an already rooted cutting, which you simply need to plant in the ground. It should be planted in the spring so that it is well rooted by winter. In order for the bush to have a beautiful shape, after rooting the top of the cutting must be plucked off .
Dividing the bush into several parts
This is the same hassle-free way of propagating chrysanthemums as cuttings. The procedure of dividing the bush also has a healing effect on such a flower. If you do not separate the bushes, then over time they begin to lose their aesthetic properties.
Part of the bush can be purchased in the spring at the market or separated from what is growing in your flower garden. To do this, dig up a bush and divide it into 2-3 parts . The number of parts depends on how dense the original bush is.

To whom is it customary to give white chrysanthemums?
Chrysanthemums occupy a special place in the symbolism of the “flower” world. Speaking about what they mean in its hierarchy, you need to understand: these gifts of flora are not as romantic as roses, but also not as strict as hyacinths. More common than newfangled hydrangeas, but they also do not have stable associative connections, like, for example, carnations. A bouquet of white chrysanthemums does not have a pronounced romantic connotation and is appropriate when congratulating a manager or colleagues, a business partner, a doctor, a teacher, elderly people of any gender or older relatives.
The one who gives you white chrysanthemums seems to be telling you: “Trust me.” In addition, snow-white chrysanthemum heals the soul from pain and negativity, helps to relax, and brings peace.
An excellent solution is to present a snow-white bouquet as a sign of apology or reconciliation: the white color, including in the language of flowers, has symbolized sincerity and purity of intentions since ancient times. Since aster flowers remain fresh for a long time even after cutting, the chances of erasing resentment from the opponent’s heart increase - after all, it is difficult not to forgive a person whose feelings are reminded for so long by a beautiful bouquet on the table.
And, of course, one of the most popular events where flowers with snow-white petals are often used is a wedding celebration. If the yellow chrysanthemum is usually called the “queen of autumn,” then the white one can be called, without exaggeration, the “queen of wedding bouquets.” In the East, it is believed that if a bride chooses a white chrysanthemum (in the language of flowers, a symbol of purity and innocence) as the main flower for her bouquet, her marriage will be blessed by heaven.
Zembla
This variety is one of the most popular among large-flowered chrysanthemums. It is grown as a garden annual and as a potted plant for indoor floriculture. Depending on the living conditions, Zembla bushes have different heights and sizes of inflorescences.

In open ground, the Zembla chrysanthemum blooms from mid-September until frost, and when planted in containers and provided with additional lighting, flowering can last 6-8 months. Up to three inflorescences with smooth reed petals bloom on one branch. Their color can be different, but the most common are varieties with yellow (Zembla Lime) and white (Zembla White) flowers.
Cassandra Pink
Adult bushes of the Korean chrysanthemum variety Cassandra Pink reach a height of 100 cm and are perfect for planting in mixborders and flower beds, as well as for cutting into bouquets. Lush hemispherical inflorescences of a lilac hue reach an average diameter of 10 cm and delight with their appearance in August-September.
In the case of Korean chrysanthemums, plant height and flower size depend on agricultural practices. When forming a round bush with many shoots, the inflorescences will be small - 5-7 cm. If you need to grow large flowers, you should remove the side shoots, leaving 2-3 buds on each stem. Then the plant will not waste energy on branching, but will direct all its potential to the development of existing flowers.
The soil for planting plants of this variety, as for most chrysanthemums, needs light, nutritious, and moisture-permeable. The soil reaction should be neutral or slightly acidic. It is better to choose a sunny place for planting, protected from drafts.
