chrysanthemum 'Mary Stoker'

An erect, woody-based, deciduous perennial, producing stems to 90cm (3ft) high and a spread of 50cm (20in), with deeply divided, aromatic green leaves. In late summer and autumn, the plants produce sprays of single light peach coloured daisy flowers each with a yellow eye. They are long lasting in water and are ideal to grow for cutting. The plants are winter hardy throughout most of the UK, but if grown in colder areas, are best heavily mulched over winter, or lifted after flowering and kept in cold, but frost-free conditions until spring. The flowers are very attractive to pollinating insects and the plant is an ideal choice to include in a wildlife garden
