1. Morphological Character      

Chrysanthemum is a Perennial root-persistent herbage flower. The stalk is erect or semi-trailing with a height of 30 to 150 centimeters. The stalk is multiramose with fluffs. The leaf is monophyllous and alternate, ovoid or long circular, with indented leaf edge. Varying from different species, the lamina is lobed or partite. The flower grows at the top of stalk and constitutes a capitulum. Female ligule flowers stand at the periphery of the capitulum, with diverse colors, sizes and shapes of pedals. At the center of the capitulum are bisexual tubulose flowers, glomerate and dish-shaped.

2. Main Points for Planting

The methods of reproduction consist of seed reproduction and nutrition reproduction; the former method is fit for the planting of new species.
