Chrysanthemum ‘Will’s Wonderful’ is a hardy garden mum featuring profuse, flamboyant strawberry-pink, daisy-like flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with golden centers. Blooming from mid to late fall, the blossoms are borne on branching stems above a large spreading clump of deeply lobed leaves. They are produced in great quantities and literally cover the plant. This perennial forms a dense, bushy mound. Easy to grow, it is an excellent choice for sunny borders or containers.

  • Grows up to 24-48 in. tall and wide (60-120 cm) but can be kept to 18-24 in. tall and wide (45-60 cm).
  • Best flowering occurs in full sun in fertile, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter and general-purpose fertilizer. Water freely in dry weather. Plant in a sheltered location to protect your Chrysanthemum from strong winds.
  • Pinch out the growing tip when the plants are 6-8 in. tall (15-20 cm) to encourage free-flowering, bushy plants. Cut back to near ground level in the fall. Propagate by division in late spring or by cuttings.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
