Chrysanthemum is a perennial herb with a height of 60- 150 cm. Stems erect, branched or unbranched, pilose. Leaves alternate, short-stalked, ovate to lanceolate, 5- 15 cm long, pinnately lobed or cleft, cuneate at the base, white pubescent at the lower part, coarsely serrated or deeply lobed at the edge, and cuneate at the base and stalk.

Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant, which can blossom early under short-day conditions. Love sunshine, avoid shade, endure early and be afraid of waterlogging. I like the warm and humid climate, but I can also resist the cold. Roots can overwinter underground in severe winter. Flowers can withstand slight frost, but higher temperature is needed for seedling growth and bud formation.

The optimum growth temperature is about 20℃.

Chrysanthemum has strong adaptability, likes cold and is cold-resistant. The optimum growth temperature is 18-2 1℃, the highest is 32℃, and the lowest is 10℃. The low temperature tolerance limit of underground rhizomes is generally-10℃. The lowest night temperature at flowering stage is 17℃, and it can be reduced to 15- 13℃ at flowering stage (middle and late stage). I like plenty of sunshine, but I also tolerate shade a little. More resistant to dry, the most taboo waterlogging. I like sandy loam, which is located in Gao Qian, with deep soil layer, rich humus, loose fertility and good drainage.
