Discover the vibrant charm of Chrysanthemum coronarium, commonly known as Crown Daisy or Garland Chrysanthemum, a delightful addition to any garden. Originating from the Mediterranean region, this annual or short-lived perennial captivates with its branching growth and distinctive, deeply lobed green leaves. Reaching heights of 2-4 feet and spreading 1-2 feet wide, Crown Daisy proudly showcases its bright yellow or white daisy-like blooms, each 2 inches across, from late spring through early autumn. Ideal for USDA zones 5-9, this versatile plant thrives in flower beds, borders, and containers, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while adding a splash of color to your landscape. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Crown Daisy offers culinary uses; its edible leaves and flowers can enhance salads, stir-fries, and soups, providing unique flavors and textures. Though low-maintenance and adaptable to various growing conditions, ensure ample moisture for optimal growth. Embrace the lively presence of Crown Daisy, but remain mindful of its invasive tendencies in certain regions.
