Different Types of Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums are incredibly diverse, offering a wide range of types that vary in shape, size, and colour.

Here are some of the main types of chrysanthemums:

1. Single Chrysanthemums

These resemble daisies with a single row of petals and a prominent center. They are often seen in varieties like Clara Curtis, which features bright yellow and white blooms.

2. Decorative Chrysanthemums

These have dense, flat petals on the back and slightly curved on top. They are popular for their full, lush appearance and come in a variety of colours.

3. Incurve Chrysanthemums

- Regular Incurve: These have petals that curve inward, creating a globe-shaped bloom.

- Intermediate Incurve: Similar to regular incurves but with a slightly less compact shape.

- Irregular Incurve: These have petals that are partially incurved, giving a more open appearance.

4. Reflex Chrysanthemums

These have large blooms with petals that curve outward and downward, creating a dramatic effect.

5. Pompom Chrysanthemums

Small, round, and fluffy, these grow in masses and are often used in floral arrangements.

6. Anemone Chrysanthemums

These have a prominent center with a raised cushion-like appearance, surrounded by petals.

7. Spoon Chrysanthemums

Daisy-like blooms with curved, spoon-shaped petal tips.

8. Quill Chrysanthemums

These have thin, tube-like petals that are often straight and tubular.

9. Spider Chrysanthemums

Known for their long, thin petals that droop and curl at the ends, giving a spider-like appearance.

10. Brush or Thistle Chrysanthemums

These have medium to large blooms with fine, tubular florets that resemble a brush or thistle.

11. Exotic or Unclassified Chrysanthemums

These don't fit into any specific category and often have unique or exotic appearances.
