100% Peat Free Pollinator Friendly

Chrysanthemum ‘Early Yellow’ bears sprays of single, yellow daisy-like flowers with deep yellow centres from August to November, above aromatic, deep green foliage.

The long flowering season carries yellow colour from late summer into the autumn border. Its flower-laden stems are also excellent for cutting.

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.
