Chrysanthemums Reach Across Cultures in Autumn Gardens
Chrysanthemums, known as the golden flower, span 2500 years of cultivation from China to Europe and America. The flower, linked with feverfew in old remedies and pyrethrum for insecticides, spread from Asia to the West by the 1700s. In Japan the chrysanthemum became a royal emblem, with October festivals marking its prominence. in Britain a pompon variety arrived in 1846 and spread widely as both annual and perennial garden specimens.
