Chrysanthemums ( / krɪˈsænθəməmz / kriss-AN-thə-məmz ), sometimes called mums or chrysanths, [5] are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. [4] They are native to East Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China. [6]
The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade. These delicate flowers survive up to 14 days in water without any signs of shrivelling. Most cultivars available for the home garden will bloom in the late spring and early summer.
