Spray chrysanthemums make popular cut flowers, owing to their huge sprays of dramatic flowers in a variety of colours. Part of the ‘Misty’ series, Chrysanthemum 'Misty Cream' has large, pom-pom-like, fully double flowers in yellow-cream, and can bloom into November. More suited to the cuttings patch rather than as part of an ornamental border, it works wonderfully as a cut flower.
Grow Chrysanthemum 'Misty Cream' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. If grown in a crowded border plants do not usually need staking, especially if an informal look is desired. However plants may need staking on windier sites, and winter protection is advised in northerly and exposed regions.
