Summary

Chrysanthemum zawadskii, commonly known as Zawadzki Chrysanthemum, is a deciduous perennial herb native to mountain slopes, grasslands, and forest edges in East Asia, particularly in Korea, China, Japan, and Siberia. It typically grows to a height and width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). This species forms a clump of deeply lobed leaves, with flower heads consisting of a yellow center and white ray florets that bloom profusely in late summer to fall, offering a long-lasting display of color.

Zawadzki Chrysanthemum is valued for its late-season blooms, which can brighten up the garden when many other plants have finished flowering. It is often used in border plantings, rock gardens, and as a ground cover due to its mounding habit. This plant prefers full sun to light shade and requires well-drained soil with consistent moisture. While it is generally easy to maintain, it can be susceptible to aphids and leaf miners. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. It is also known for its medicinal properties in traditional Asian medicine.CC BY-SA 4.0
