Description
Chrysanthemum indicum is a beautiful perennial flowering plant native to East Asia, widely appreciated for its vibrant blooms and ornamental value. It produces striking flowers in shades of white, yellow, pink, purple, and red, blooming from late summer through fall. Its green, sometimes serrated leaves form a lush backdrop, making it perfect for garden beds and containers. Although the flowers are visually appealing, they are toxic due to the presence of pyrethrin, an insecticidal compound. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, fertile soil. With moderate care, regular pruning, and consistent watering, it rewards gardeners with rich, long-lasting color displays.
