Chrysanthemum 'Green Spider'

Chrysanthemum 'Green Spider' is an unusual and eye-catching perennial, producing large blooms made up of long, narrow, quilled petals in fresh lime-green shades from late summer into autumn. The distinctive spider-shaped flowers bring texture and contrast to the garden and are particularly effective when combined with deep purples, burgundies, and ornamental grasses. Originating from centuries of chrysanthemum breeding in Asia, spider chrysanthemums are especially prized for their intricate flower forms and long-lasting blooms.

The strong upright stems and exceptional vase life make 'Green Spider' an excellent cut flower, adding a fresh and contemporary feel to arrangements. Plants form tidy clumps of deeply lobed green foliage and perform best in sunny, sheltered positions with fertile, well-drained soil. In colder districts the foliage may die back in winter before reshooting in spring.
