Chrysanthemum ‘Bronze Elite’ is a striking late-season perennial producing single bronze flowers from September into October — a valuable source of late nectar for bees as the season draws to a close. It grows to around 100cm, making it well suited to the back of a sunny border.

It thrives in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil.

Plant Notes

Care Guide:
Plant in moderately fertile soil with added organic matter; avoid waterlogging as poor drainage is not tolerated. Water during dry spells. Remove spent flowerheads as they go over to encourage further blooms. Cut back old stems in autumn to 10-20cm once flowering has finished. In colder areas, apply a light dry mulch — straw works well — around the base to protect the crown. Take basal cuttings in late spring to early summer to guard against winter losses. Divide large clumps in spring to maintain vigour.
Good to Know:
Pollinator-friendly — the flowers attract bees and butterflies.

Slugs may be a problem as new shoots emerge in spring — check regularly and act early.

⚠️ Humans: Skin allergen — wear gloves when handling.
