Chrysanthemums are popular border plants, adding valuable colour in late summer and autumn.
However, these vigorous and free-flowering plants tend to wear themselves out quite quickly. The oldest part of the plant, in the centre of the clump, becomes weaker and the stems flop, while the outer shoots remain thick and healthy.

'Concorde' is a very heavy cropping variety and will keep for over two months when picked unripe. It is self-fertile and grown on dwarfing rootstock, so it’ll always be compact.
