Chrysanthemums in my garden.
They haven’t bloomed yet, but they’ll bloom very soon.
Chrysanthemums come in yellow, pink, lilac, burgundy, and other colors.
Some have small flowers, and some have large ones.
The large flowers have bloomed at my house. When they bloom, they’ll be large.
There are many flowers on a single bush.
Caring for them isn’t difficult. Be sure to water them during dry spells. If they grow tall, it’s a good idea to stake them. You can fertilize them with fertilizer for aster family flowers. They look very beautiful in flower beds and parks. And they make very beautiful bouquets.
The flowers themselves are native to East Asia. Now they’re popular here, too.
In Japan, these flowers are a national symbol.
They’re used in traditional Eastern medicine, and tea is also made from them. There are dwarf varieties that can be grown in pots. There are also garden varieties that grow quite large. By the way, I forgot to mention that their colors range from light green to dark green. Some have a velvety texture. They have a distinctive scent—a tart aroma with hints of lily of the valley. They grow well in open ground and are frost-tolerant. They sprout well when spring arrives.
