Youpi White Florist Chrysanthemum

Youpi White Florist Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum x morifolium 'Youpi White') is a compact, mounded daisy 40cm to 60cm tall and 40cm to 50cm wide, covered in full double white flowers with cream centres over aromatic, ferny green leaves. It starts flowering in late spring or early summer and peaks in autumn. It is warm-season colour for pots and sunny beds, and it is not frost tolerant.

Why you'll love it

• Crisp white double blooms. Full white flowers with cream centres look clean and fresh, and they suit any colour scheme.
• Months of flowers. Blooms begin in late spring or early summer and peak in autumn, then carry into late autumn in milder regions.
• Compact and mounded. The dense shape fills a pot or the front of a border without staking.
• Aromatic ferny leaves. The foliage is finely cut and fresh scented, so it looks good even before the flowers open.
• Easygoing. It keeps flowering for as long as you keep up the feeding and watering.

Where it works best

Pots and patios. Group several pots of 30cm or more on a sunny patio or entry. White flowers read clearly against dark foliage and paving.

Mixed beds and borders. Plant 40cm apart so the mounds just touch. White mounds link bright colours and calm a busy bed.

Evening and entertaining areas. White flowers show up at dusk, so plant it beside a seat or outdoor table that is used after work.

Growing Youpi White Florist Chrysanthemum in Australia

Position and climate. Full sun and a frost free position. In cold climates bring pots indoors or under cover to overwinter. In milder regions it flowers into late autumn, and in hot districts it still performs if watered.

Soil. Very free-draining sandy or light soil suits it. On heavy clay, use pots or a raised bed.

Water and feed. Feed monthly and water weekly or more through the growing season. Containers dry out fastest, so check them in hot weather.

Pruning. Deadhead the old flowers for a bushier plant and repeat flowering.
