Low-growing chrysanthemum

Dwarf chrysanthemum is a compact, bushy plant with many small flower heads that densely cover the stems. Depending on the selected variety, the petals are orange, purple, or burgundy. The leaves are lobed, rich green, forming a neat cushion at the base. The height and pot diameter are not specified, so rely on the visual compactness: the plant is convenient to place on a windowsill or shelf.

A potted chrysanthemum is suitable for home or office. A flowering bush is appropriate as a birthday gift or simply to decorate a windowsill during the autumn flowering season. Thanks to its dwarf form, the plant does not take up much space and looks good as a single planting.

Care is simple. Chrysanthemum prefers bright, indirect light without direct midday rays—an east- or west-facing window is suitable. Water moderately when the top layer of soil dries out, avoiding waterlogging in the saucer. To form a dense bush, pinch young shoots.
