AUTUMN MOTIF

The "Autumn Motif" chrysanthemum variety is a perennial herbaceous plant growing 130 to 150 cm tall with a long, branched rhizome. The stem is straight, slightly branched, and leafy up to the flower heads. Leaves are entire, sessile, alternate, and long-lanceolate with ear-like lobes at the base; middle leaves have serrated margins, while upper leaves have entire margins. Flower heads are single, 6-7.5 cm in diameter, located at branch tips and forming a loose shield. Blooming occurs from August to October, making this variety particularly valuable for late flowering and cutting. It reproduces both by seed and vegetatively.

This chrysanthemum variety is widely used in landscape design due to its decorativeness and hardiness. The plant is ideal for sunny locations, creating individual clumps, background plantings, and decorating water body banks and natural style gardens. Thanks to late blooming, "Autumn Motif" finishes the flowering season, adding bright and saturated shades to the garden.

Chrysanthemums are traditionally valued for their wide color range—from copper-red and bright yellow to scarlet, magenta-pink, and cherry shades. Many varieties, including "Autumn Motif", emit a characteristic sharp aroma that comes not only from the flowers but also from the leaves, filling the garden with a special atmosphere. These flowers have a rich history of cultivation in China and Japan and continue to win hearts of gardeners worldwide.
