You’ll love the gorgeous primrose 'button' flowers of Chrysanthemum coronarium 'Primrose Gem', which each have a contrasting golden eye. The petite, pale yellow, daisy-like blooms are complemented by fabulous ferny foliage, which gives a soft affect in cottage garden borders. These neat, dome-shaped plants reach just 45cm tall and become smothered in blooms from June to August. Height: 45cm. Spread: 40cm.Sow in early spring 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in any good seed compost. Make sure that the compost is moist but not wet and seal in a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 10-18 days at 18-21C (65-70F). Seed can also be sown outdoors in mid spring 6mm (0.25in) deep where they are to flower and thinned out. Transplant when large enough to handle into boxes and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny spot, on light well drained soil. Companion planting: try growing Chrysanthemums with chives, whose aromatic leaves will deter aphids.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 45cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 40cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x Chrysanthemum coronarium 'Primrose Gem' seed packet (approx. 50 seeds)Delivered with growing and care instructionsFlowering period: June to AugustImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
