Chrysanthemum ‘Dixter Orange’ bears sprays of deep orange, double flowers from late summer into autumn. As flowering gathers pace, the blooms almost hide its lobed, grey-green foliage, bringing rich autumn colour to the border.

The sprays of double blooms are particularly useful for autumn flower arrangements.

Hardiness: H4 (−10°C to −5°C). Hardy through most UK winters. Provide winter protection in colder inland, upland or northern gardens; plants in pots are more vulnerable to frost.

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.

Can't praise this chrysanth enough- withstood the drought no problem, flowering freely now in October, even though in less than ideal semi-shade and it's easy from cuttings.
