Jackanda

Chrysanthemum aster 'Jackanda' is an annual bushy plant growing 45 to 55 cm high and about 40–45 cm wide, distinguished by its bright red spherical flower heads with a diameter of 8–14 cm. The medium-strength stems, 35–40 cm long, give the bush a dense and decorative appearance.

For successful cultivation, 'Jackanda' requires a bright, well-ventilated location with neutral soil pH. The plant prefers temperatures not below +18 °C and is drought-resistant, though it cannot withstand frost. To avoid fusarium wilt, the culture should be replanted annually in a new location.

'Jackanda' is widely used for decorative purposes: its bright red flowers are excellent for cutting and bouquet arrangement, and they decorate borders, flower beds, and garden plots. Thanks to its long-lived annual nature and resistance to sunlight, the plant fits easily into a summer landscape.
