Chrysanthemum ‘Crazy Daisy’ (Perennial)

Chrysanthemum ‘Crazy Daisy’ is a wonderfully cheerful perennial with shaggy, white petals that look like they’ve been caught in a breeze—quirky, playful, and full of character. Each flower is slightly different, with frilly, sometimes semi-double blooms that bring texture and movement to borders and vases.

It flowers from late summer into autumn, adding brightness just as other plants are starting to fade. Long, strong stems make it great for cutting, and it plays well with other late-season stars like rudbeckias and asters.

Start seeds indoors from February to April, or sow outside in May once the soil has warmed. Transplant into full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Give plants about 30cm spacing and deadhead to keep blooms coming. Cut back in autumn and mulch if winters are harsh.
